CARTA VIEJA

Wonderful value for money. Made by the del Pedregal family, the Sauvignon Blanc has excellent gooseberry flavours and the unoaked Chardonnay superb tropical fruit flavours with balancing acidity. A complete revelation is the botrytised Carta Vieja Late Harvest, a pudding wine of classic ‘noble rot’ and delicious acidity.  Click here to view their website.

Both the basic Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are outstandingly good with excellent black fruit flavours, and the Carmenère, Cabernet & Syrah Reservas are big rich oak-aged wines: highly recommended. The softer Pinot Noir is one of the best value examples of this grape on our list and has lovely red berry fruit.

LOS ROBLES – Fairtrade

We fully support the concept of Fairtrade when it comes to the world of wine especially if the wines stand up on their own right as well made. New winemaker Paula Bottero at the Los Robles Co-operative in Chile makes wine that not only stand up but stand out: a rich Carmenère that has just been voted Best International Fairtrade Red 2007, a deliciously elegant, crisp, but fruity Sauvignon Blanc, and a really refreshing, raspberry-pink dry Merlot Rosé.  The Los Robles Co-op are involved in many community projects as well as guaranteeing the growers a fair price for their grapes. More information about the Fairtrade Organisation can be found at: www.fairtrade.org.uk

COUSIŇA MACUL

Still family owned, the famous vineyard of Cousino-Macul sits just on the outskirts of Santiago.  We are convinced that their red wines offer all round quality and a complexity and structure that some Chilean wines lack.  The excellent unoaked whites are all delicious and highly rated by Robert Parker. Don’t miss tthe superb Sauvignon Gris, an unusal grape related to the Sauvignon Blanc but even more intense in style.

VINA ESTAMPA

Vina Estampa is an innovative, family-owned, state of the art winery in the Colchangua. Unusually for Chilean wineries, Vina Estampa blends its wines to make wines of surprising complexity at this price. Their white is one of the most exciting whites that I have tasted from South America for some time: complex, but elegant, with the Viognier's aromatic flavours balancing perfectly with the steely, unoaked Chardonnay.
