Senior Editor Zekun Shuai’s latest Wine Crush is the Carter Mollenhauer Maule Truquilemu Viñedo Truquilemu 2022, an amazing carignan that highlights the freshness and energy of the Truquilemu vineyard in Maule, Chile. This vintage offers a smooth texture, bright acidity and fine tannins, with layers of blueberry fruit, florals and minerality, alongside a hint of white pepper and herbs. In a Chilean wine scene filled with strong chardonnays, syrahs and cabernets, Zekun says this carignan stands out for its balance and precision, offering a glimpse into the dynamic, fresh future of Chilean wine.
