New - Viña Maipo releases new premium Syrah blend

Viña Maipo is adding a new Syrah/Viognier assemblage to its Gran Devoción super premium wine range. Viña Maipo’s Chief Winemaker Max Weinlaub, believes in Chilean Syrah’s world-class potential and has made the varietal key to Viña Maipo’s fine wine strategy. Sourced from carefully selected grapes in the Villa Alegre and Lourdes Vineyards in the Maule Valley, the Gran Devoción Syrah/Viognier shows a very unique personality.

Weinlaub explains: “Syrah’s outspoken and impetuous character blends in perfectly with Viognier’s more delicate notes to create an intense, dark red wine with aromas evoking blackberries, plums, cocoa and subtle ripe apricots.”

The Viña Maipo Gran Devoción range also includes a Cabernet Sauvignon/Syrah, a Carmenère/Syrah and a Syrah/Petite Sirah blend, as well as a single varietal Sauvignon Blanc.
