Piedras Magicas
by La Ronciere
D.O. Licanten | Coastal Curicó, Chile
Located 15 miles from the Pacific Ocean, La Ronciere’s ambitious 500 acre Idahue Estate is their vision for the future. Prevailing coastal breezes, abundant sunshine, and rolling hills of ancient soils culminate in a privileged climatic and geological landscape. Years of research and a forward-looking approach drove the successful effort that saw Licanten granted D.O. status in 2018. The region’s potential is just being unlocked, and already the wines speak for themselves in a recognizable way, managing concentration and nuance in an expressly vibrant manner.

"The shale soils of parcel 626 supply the grapes for this intense, wild, savoury Carignan that's a little lighter and less rustic than some of the examples from the Maule Valley. Focused, dense and chewy, with damson and cranberry fruit, subtle wood and added perfume and fruit sweetness from 15% Cabernet Franc and Malbec. 2022-28" -Tim Atkin MW

"As with the most recent releases of the La Roncière Malbec, I have a slight preference for the 2020 Carignan over the 2019. Super floral and intense, with lovely thyme and pine aromas, plenty of blood and guts on the palate, sinewy tannins and the freshness that makes this terroir so special. 2024-32" -Tim Atkin MW
