Peumo, in the Rapel Valley, receives sufficient cooling influence from the ocean for the climate to be warm but not too hot: just right for producing its renowned Carmenères. Deep ruby red in color. The nose reveals aromas of ripe blackberries, plums and a hint of spice, all framed by an elegant touch of cedar from the well-integrated oak-ageing. Mature and fresh on the palette, it displays subtle notes that give character to this classic Carmenère. Mature tannins give it structure and texture for a persistent finish. A slice of beef brisket with a goat cheese stuffed bell pepper would be the perfect accompaniment for this wine.

Believe it or not, Prince Edward Island was the very first place this brand new wine has been available in North America. It was unveiled at the 2018 Wine Festival in Charlottetown and certainly does not disappoint. The clay-loam soils over a granite base in Cauquenes, 350 kilometers south of Santiago, contribute structure and character to this wine. It is a bright, intense violet red in color with aromas of plums, cherries and toast from ageing in oak barrels. This hearty Cabernet is well structured with firm tannins and an abundance of dark fruits. A big wine such as this deserves a big piece of red meat, slow roasted to perfection with your favourite vegetable medley. This wine is a must try!

This wine marries dense dark fruit flavors with subtle minerality and muscular structure. Complex aromas of juicy dark fruits and hints of violet and wild flowers entice the palate. Abundant fruit flavors of ripe black currant and plum are framed by hints of black pepper and baking spices leading to a lingering luscious finish. Barbequed sirloin and potato salad on the patio is a must try this summer season.

The Campo Viejo winery located in the Rioja region in Spain produces spectacular wines and this Rosé is no exception. A raspberry-pink color, warm attractive and very bright. This wine has strawberries, plums, blackberries, with floral notes of roses and violets on the nose. Fragrant in the mouth, round, soft and smooth, with just the right amount of crispness. The perfect patio wine for the summer season. Light appetizers or a salad work well with this refreshing rosé.

This winery is named for mercenary vineyard guardians, “Saltari” hired by vineyard owners from the 16th through the 18th centuries to protect their grapes from thieves and bandits. Deep ruby in color, this wine has oaky tobacco notes on the nose with an intense, peppery, minerality. On the palate it shows subtle spices with licorice and dried dark fruit. This powerful red will pair beautifully with osso bucco or wild game lasagna.
