CHILE – WHITE WINE LA PLAYA RESERVA CHARDONNAY 2023 Valle del Limarí, sustainable, vegan

KOYLE ORGANICO GRAN RESERVA CARMENÈRE 2021 Los Lingues, Valle de Colchagua Delivering extraordinary value for money, this carmenere is from the flatter parts of the vineyard in Los Lingues, near the Andean foothills in the Colchagua Valley. It displays herbal notes, juicy red fruit, tense body moderated by fine tannins, and abundant fruit flavors. The wine spent 14 months in barrels, all used, which added spices, but hasn’t reduced any of its freshness. Score: 91 (Patricio Tapia, guiadescorchados.cl, 2024) Full-bodied & Smooth 44680 (XD) 750 ml $18.95 2

A nice chardonnay, showing lots of chalk, eggshells and hot stones with pie crust and citrus. Medium- bodied and fresh on the palate with a lightly savory, saline touch to the medium-long finish. Vegan. Sustainable. Drink now. Score: 91 (jamessuckling. com, March 18, 2025) Full-bodied & Rich 41906 (XD) 750 ml $19.95 1 Featured in First Among Equals

MATETIC EQ COASTAL SAUVIGNON BLANC 2023 DO Valle de Casablanca EQ Coastal comes from vineyards in Valle Hermoso, in the Casablanca Valley’s most coastal zone, about nine kilometers from the Pacific. One-third of the wine was fermented and aged in barrels, another third in concrete eggs, and the final third in stainless steel tanks. What stands out first is the palate, which is concentrated, firm, juicy, and full of vibrant acidity. There’s also a saline side that lends complexity to an already intense white that’s full of the cold maritime influence.

CHILE – RED WINE

MONTES OUTER LIMITS CINSAULT 2022 DO Valle del Itata

VOLCANES DE CHILE TECTONIA SYRAH 2020 DO Valle del Limarí

A fresh cinsault, with red fruit and floral flavors, light body, and those tannins that are sharp but seem tame. This wine, entirely from very old vineyards in the Guarilihue zone of the Itata Valley, was vinified with 35% whole clusters and was aged half in concrete eggs and half in barrels. A wine to cool down a summer afternoon. Score: 91 (Patricio Tapia, guiadescorchados.cl, 2024) Medium-bodied & Fruity 41898 (XD) 750 ml $24.95 2 Online & Flagship Exclusive
