Anakena Ona Andes Blend 750ml

The Ona range sits at the premium end of Anakena’s portfolio, and this bottling has had something most wines at this price never get: time. Released from the 2019 vintage, it arrives with several years of bottle age already behind it, and that changes the drinking experience considerably.

Young reds can be firm and a little unresolved, with tannins that need food or air to soften. An aged red has done that work already. The fruit has mellowed from bright to deep, the tannins have smoothed out, and savoury, complex notes have developed that simply do not exist in a young wine. This is a bottle to open and enjoy now, at what is arguably its best moment.

Serving Suggestions:
🍸 Best enjoyed: Cool room temperature. Pour gently — older wines can throw a light natural sediment
🍽️ Food Pairing: Roast meats, slow-braised beef, mushroom dishes, mature cheese board
🍹 Serving Note: Less decanting needed than a young wine — the softening has already happened in the bottle

Tasting Notes:
🍇 Aroma: Mellowed dark fruit, cedar, dried herb, a hint of leather and spice
🍯 Flavour: Deep, integrated dark fruit with savoury complexity and soft oak
🔥 Finish: Long and smooth, with tannins that have fully resolved

Did You Know?
📖 Chile is one of the few wine countries never touched by phylloxera, the vine louse that destroyed European vineyards in the 1800s. The Andes, the Atacama Desert and the Pacific isolate it so effectively that many Chilean vines still grow on their own roots, rather than being grafted onto resistant American rootstock as they are almost everywhere else.

🌟 Final Note: Older does not mean past its best — for a good red, it usually means better. Limited stock at this vintage.
