This is made by drying the grapes, just like Vin Santo but with torontel. Mango dessert, dried papaya, sticky rice, dried apricots, crème caramel and peach pit with dried citrus-rind undertones. Full-bodied, sweet and very dense and oily, but with enough acidity to carry it through to a vibrant finish. Drink now or hold. ... More details

Torontel is a native grape to Chile, believed to be a natural hybrid although no DNA study has been done. This is skin contact wine, vino santo style, where grapes are kept on vines until late March then brought in as whole bunches, hanged to dry for two months before 32 months in large barrels. Totally gorgeous on the palate, with a bitter edge, and concentrated toffee, caramel, quince, orange blossom, apricot and ginger notes, almost dry, extremely fresh. Dry farmed in the Maule Valley, this is an exciting wine to taste. 100% ungrafted. Drinking Window 2020 - 2034.

A Torontel from Caliboro, Maule, the grapes were dried in the shadow of a gallery like raisins. Fragrant on the nose with hints of honey, a touch of turpentine and sun-dried, jammy grape notes, it presents an intense acidity, medium body and fluid feel. A sweet, vibrant oddity not unlike good candy.

Region: Valle Central

Chile's Valle Central has to be one of the oldest 'New World' wine regions on earth, with a viticultural history which stretches all the way back to the 16th century, and the time of the first European settlers in South America. This long stretch of valleys and mountains, which extends between Maipo and Maule, has grown to become one of the most prodigious and productive wine regions on the continent, with a reputation for big, flavourful and characterful wines. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Carmenere all flourish in various part of Valle Central, and the many micro-climates which characterize the region allow wineries to experiment and innovate with their crops. Today, the Chilean wine industry is stronger than ever, and quality has for the first time overtaken quantity as a priority, making it something of a golden age for the country's wine producers.

Country: Chile

When the wealthy new landowners of the 19th century began planting large vineyards in the fertile central valleys of Chile, they must have been impressed at how successful the imported Old World grape varietals took to the land. However, such a fact is hardly surprising; with eight months of blazing sunshine coupled with oceanic winds from the west, and crystal clear spring waters from the Andes irrigating the soil, grapes such as Malbec, Merlot, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon were given everything they needed to flourish, and more. As the centuries passed, Chilean wineries continued to expand and experiment, resulting in a wide range of wine production methods and techniques, and consistently producing fine quality wines perfect for the international market. Nowadays, Chile is renowned for producing a wide variety of crisp white wines, and juicy, fruity reds enjoyed around the world for their drinkability and flavorful character, making this country very much one of the 'New World', albeit one with a fascinating link to the Old.
