Chilandia Classic Red is a Chilean red wine that presents a balanced, approachable character for everyday enjoyment. It shows the straightforward charm of a classic table red, with medium-bodied structure and sufficient density to carry ripe fruit and subtle savory notes.
On the nose, the wine offers a mix of dark berries and gentle spice, with a hint of earthiness that anchors the fruit. The bouquet is open and inviting, making it easy to appreciate the wine both on its own and alongside food.
In the mouth, the texture is medium-bodied with smooth tannins and a measured acidity that keeps the palate lively. Flavors of plum, black cherry and a touch of cocoa unfold steadily, giving the wine a rounded mid-palate and a satisfying finish.
This expression is bottled at 13% alcohol by volume, which contributes to its balanced profile and drinkability without overwhelming the fruit or structure.
Taste, structure and finish
The appearance is a clear, deep red with moderate intensity, hinting at ripe red and dark fruit on entry.
Aromas lean toward blackberry and plum, complemented by subtle spice and a faint mineral or earthy thread that adds depth.
On the palate, primary fruit notes are front and center, supported by soft tannins that give body without harshness.
Acidity is present but measured, offering lift and freshness that keeps the wine from feeling heavy.
The finish is smooth and medium in length, with lingering fruit and a mild savory aftertaste that encourages another sip.
Serving and food pairings
Serve slightly cool to cellar temperature, around 18 °C, to let the fruit aromas open while keeping the structure balanced.
This medium-bodied red pairs well with a range of dishes from everyday meals to simple weekend cooking.
Try it with grilled or roasted beef where the fruit and gentle tannins complement savory meat flavors.
It is also a good match for aged and semi-firm cheeses, offering a pleasant interplay of creaminess and fruit.
For lighter fare, the wine pairs nicely with roasted or herbed chicken and turkey, as well as savory snacks and tapas-style plates that highlight cured meats and olives.
