Chile

Chile’s reputation is for good quality ‘entry-level’ reds, which is much deserved, but the country has so much more to offer. It is a great wine producing nation with wonderfully bright sunshine tempered by cool sea-breezes or sloping vineyards and higher altitudes. It is also a relatively pristine environment that seems to bring real purity to the wines. There is such an interesting variety of flavoursome, mid-range wines to explore, as well as powerfully dense, top-end stars. It’s Chile’s lateral valleys that run down from the Andes, across the Central Valley and through Coastal Range, that bring variety to the table. Great, gluggable glasses of Merlot and Carmenère are here for the taking, but if you search further you will come across the more complex blends, with a curranty claret-like edge to the Cabernet-dominant wines. The Maipo Valley which fans out from capital city, Santiago, is Chile’s most established vineyard area and the first region of the fertile Valle Central or Central Valley. It is home to the original ‘grandee’ companies of Chilean wine and is the heartland for lovely Bordeaux-inspired reds. Pressure from real estate development here has steadily pushed Maipo’s vineyards eastwards onto the slopes of the Andes, which has actually improved the finesse and elegance of many reds. This Alto Maipo sub-area probably has the best terroir and is now producing world-class reds. One grandee is Cousiño Macul – a family-owned operation with some 267 Ha of vines – which has jumped ship from the encroaching suburbs to Buin. Santa Ema is owned by the Pavone family, who originated in Piedmont, and is situated at El Peral in the Isla de Maipo sub-area, surrounded by 50 Ha of the company’s own vines.
