The Wines of Chile - Earthquake Relief!
Refilling Chile
One bottle at a time!
Few regions can match Chile's quality and reasonable prices. Its land and production costs are less than other parts of the world. The quality of their wines have greatly improved over the past decade as winemakers incorporate California and European winemaking techniques and they have ideal growing conditions for several well-known varietals. Put it all together and you've got great wine at great prices!

Crucero Chardonnay is richer in style with full-bodied texture and tropical fruit flavors. Attractive yellow color with some green tones. Its intense varietal character evokes ripe citrus fruits, with floral and honeyed tones along with well integrated wood. In the mouth it is rich, round and fruity with some creamy notes. Great to serve with salmon, roast chicken and creamy pasta dishes. A real crowd pleaser.

CONO SUR SAUVIGNON BLANC VISION 2008, CHILE
The strong Pacific Ocean influence and red clayish soils concur to foster this refreshing, crisp, pale yellow-green wine. In nose, very fine grapefruit, white flowers and citric hints combine with a perfect mineral character. It's an expressive Sauvignon Blanc, with a mineral and slightly salty mouth, with great acidity and a lovely long finish.

CASA LAPOSTOLLE CHARDONNAY CUVEE LAPOSTOLLE 2007, CHILE
Bright pale golden yellow with clean light lime notes. Intense fruit aromas mainly sweet citric style such as mandarin and tangerine, with elegant sweet touches of spices and white flowers. Elegant and concentrated. The mouth attack is rich and with a light creaminess, but with a crisp and fresh acidity at the mid palate. Long and pleasant at the finish with more sweet citric aromas. Enjoy with fresh and sophisticated fish preparations and sea food in general.
Very stylish, with nice underlying richness as the suave toast melds into the pear tartine, Jonagold apple and floral notes. Long, creamy finish has nice lingering minerality. Drink now through 2010.
