Chile

Ruby red colour. On the nose, powerful with notes of red plums. Good oak balance. On the palate, round with notes of ripe plums and very good tannins.

Complex and evolved on the nose (which comes from the long autolysis of its yeasts) with nutty and toasted bread aromas. Fresh, full bodied, elegant and balanced on the palate, characterised by citrus, honeyed and mineral flavors, with appealing acidity and long, evolving finish.

An immediately appealing nose is deep and cedary and offers plentiful blackberry, tobacco, vanilla and mocha aromas. While this is a touch choppy and tannic in feel, it's also far from dull. Chocolaty oak forms the top and bottom layers of the flavor profile, with blackberry and spiced plum in the middle. A toasty finish with smoky oak

Quite possible one of the best value Chardonnays we've tasted. Made by Casa Silva, Chile's most awarded winery, the Cool Coast Chardonnay originally not available in the UK but shipped over here for us.

Casa Silva produces stunning wines at all levels, especially in the cool coastal region of Paradones. Sauvignon Gris is a rare grape variety originally grown in Bordeaux which has found it's full potential in Chile.

From the foothills of the Andes this elegant Merlot is ripe with soft, delicious creamy fruit.

Strawberries, cherries and pomegranate, with subtle notes of cinnamon which add aromatic complexity. Its cool coastal origin at Paredones adds a refreshing acidity, soft tannins and an elegant long finish.

From the Los Lingues Estate in the far north eastern corner of Colchagua. A voluptuous Cabernet Sauvignon dripping with soft Cassis fruit.

Intense ruby colour with purple notes. On the nose, fresh and elegant, with notes of red and black fruits, with a hint of coffee and spices like black pepper. On the palate, juicy with a pleasant acidity, and abundant tannins, but always soft. It then all finishes with long persistence and impressive elegance.

The top wine from Casa Silva, a blend of Carmenere, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Shiraz. Many layers of Cassis, Cocoa and chocolate fruit. Top Drop!
