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

The Valle Central of Chile is one of the world's most fascinating and unique wine regions, being a New World region with a history which stretches back several centuries to the time of the first European settlers on the South American continent. Although those original settlers brought their vines across the ocean for the production of sacramental wine, the way they flourished on Chilean soil was not ignored. Over the centuries, the vineyards around the Maipo and Maule valleys grew and grew, and now the Valle Central is the most productive wine region of South America, producing many of Chile's most characterful and flavorful wines. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot varietal grapes are grown and processed in huge quantities for the international market, but there are also many vineyards dealing with high quality Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Carmenere grapes which are constantly gaining attention and praise from critics and wine drinkers around the world.

Country: Chile

Whilst being widely regarded as definitively 'New World' as a wine producing country, Chile has actually been cultivating grapevines for wine production for over five hundred years. The Iberian conquistadors first introduced vines to Chile with which to make sacramental wines, and although these were considerably different in everything from flavor, aroma and character to the wines we associate with Chile today, the country has a long and interesting heritage when it comes to this drink. Chilean wine production as we know it first arose in the country in the mid to late 19th century, when wealthy landowners and industrialists first began planting vineyards as a way of adopting some European class and style. They quickly discovered that the hot climate, sloping mountainsides and oceanic winds provided a perfect terroir for quality wines, and many of these original estates remain today in all their grandeur and beauty, still producing the wines which made the country famous.
