Washing Up
Buonasera, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Steve and I had been discussing Argentinian Malbec Reds this afternoon, and the Malbec Grape, had come up, that it is also grown in Chile ... This information, had activated me to provide a thread on the Chilean Wines I have tasted and recommend:
CHILE´s ICONIC WINES
1) Almaviva: an opulent chocolaty Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenère blend from Chile´s Concha y Toro Winery and France´s Winery Baroness Phillippine de Rothschild.
2) Clos Apalta: An elegant Merlot and Carmenère merger that is the work of the French Oenologist Michel Rolland.
3) Montes Purple Angel: Almost 100% Carmenère grape, with notes of lush cherry fruit.
chilean whites ...
1) Santa Rita Floresta is a lovely white Sauvignon Blanc from the D.O.C. of Leyda. It possesses fruity notes of lime and citrus.
2) EQ Sauvignon Blanc: This white is produced by Matetic Winery and hosts a minerally finish.
3) Casa Marín Gerwürztraminer: This German white semi sweet grape is a rare find in Chile. However, this floral yet dry refreshing wine, has proven that this grape can do quite well in Chile.
Look forward to hearing about your Chilean Wine experiences.
Have a lovely Sunday,
Ciao. Margi.
