Echeverria Unwooded Chardonnay Curico Valley Chile
Description: In 1740 the Echeverría family moved to Chile, and has been prominent in Chilean agriculture, and active in grape growing and winemaking since then. In the early 1900's, the Echeverría family established a vineyard and winery in the outskirts of the town of Molina, in the Curico Valley, the wine heartland of Chile. Since then, Vina Echeverría has been growing fine grapes from French pre-philloxera rootstocks, and producing fine wines in that same location. Great care is taken in making this wine, harvested by hand the grapes are carried to the winery in 18 Kg. boxes immediately after cutting. Destemmed and chilled the grapes undergo direct pneumatic pressing, 24 to 48 hours of static sedimentation and fermented in stainless steel tanks for 14 days. This is followed by static cold stabilization at -5ºC for 15 days it is then stored in stainless steel tanks at 10ºC prior to bottling. This unwooded Chardonnay is a pale yellow colour with golden tones. The fresh varietal aroma, with hints of peaches, pears and bananas compliments this well balanced wine that is showing fresh and crisp acidity. In the mouth it is round and creamy, with a nice long finish. Available in half bottles. (12 x 37.5 cl)

Los Robles Carmenere Curico Valley Chile
Description: In 1939, when an earthquake devestated the Curico Valley in Central Chile the Los Robles Co-operative was formed to help rebuild the local community. Today, the Co-operative ensures local small-scale farmers receive a fair price for their grapes and through the fairtrade scheme earn a sustainable livelihood through export trade. Los Robles was recently nominated as the 'Best Chilean Winery' and this Single Varietal wine shows why. 100% Carmenere and harvested by hand, once in the winery this wine stays four to six months in American oak barrels before release. This has produced an intense plummy red colour with an elegant, fine, fruity aroma of berries and plums, with notes of chocolate, caramel and pepper. A well balanced wine with a heavy fruity presence of mature red fruits with wood overtones, as well as a toasty, spicy flavour that gives way to a long soft finish of this enjoyable Fairtrade wine. (12 x 75 cl)
