A native Chilean, Agustin Huneeus joined Napa Valley based Franciscan Estates in 1985 as President and CEO, bringing with him international wine experience from Chile and the United States. In 1990, after discovering promising potential vineyard property in the Casablanca Valley, Agustin Huneeus realized his dream of returning to Chile to found Veramonte. The cool climate of the Casablanca Valley, Chile's premier white wine region, creates an excellent wine which exudes the classic gooseberry and cut-grass aromas associated with this variety. Good clarity with a light straw colour, this wine is zesty with sensational medium body flavours similar to the aroma-citrus, herbs, and fresh fruit that linger gently on the palate. (6 x 75 cl)

Veramonte's Casablanca Valley is surrounded by coastal mountain ranges creating a diversity of unique microclimates and terroirs. Its close proximity to the Pacific Ocean provides ideal growing and ripening conditions for Chardonnay. The valley floor provides a cool Carneros-like climate, while the terraced hillside blocks have warmer temperatures, similar to the northern Napa Valley. This 100% Chardonnay wine is made by winemaker Rafael Tirado and it is aged 8 months in American and French Oak, of which 33% is new. Golden yellow coloured Chardonnay with elegant floral and tropical aromas framed by honey and toasty oak. Vibrant tropical fruit flavours complement the refreshingly crisp acidity, while the subtle oak and warm spice round out the middle before the creamy finish. (12 x 75 cl)

The valley floor provides a cool Carneros-like climate, while the terraced hillside blocks have warmer temperatures, similar to the northern Napa Valley. This 'super-premium' wine uses Carmenere as the base together with some Cabernet Sauvignon. Using premium quality fruit from the Alto de Casablanca estate, the young wine is aged for 12 months in a combination of French and American oak barrels. Definitely a 'terroir' wine, Primus is a limited production wine that showcases the rare Carmenère variety, a grape once prevalent in Bordeaux in the 1800's when Chile first began importing vines from France. The finished wine has superb concentration with mouthfilling flavours of blackberry and cherries mingling with the spicy oak. (6 x 75 cl)
