Here’s what we’re pouring this afternoon:

TERRAPURA SAUVIGNON BLANC
Although it is considered part of the New World, Chile makes a Sauvignon Blanc more in kind with Old World Bordeaux than with other New World SB heavyweights, New Zealand and California (this applies too to their Cabernet Sauvignon). Opening with a delicate yet intense nose, this wine offers vibrant tropical fruit flavors, white floral notes and a fresh, clean minerality.

CORRALILLO CHARDONNAY
This wine hails from the Rosario Valley in Chile which has a cool, maritime climate. This is an excellent location for Chardonnay which can become flabby and cumbersome if overly ripened. Allowing the grapes to slowly ripen has preserved a mouth watering acidity and vibrant texture while still delivering robust, tropical fruit and floral notes.

TERRAPURA PINOT NOIR
You may not automatically think of Pinot Noir when it comes to Chilean wines, but the cool climate and plentiful sun can be an ideal environment for this picky, temperamental grape. Sourced from the Aconcagua Valley in central Chile, this wine offers a bold nose of cherries and blueberries. The fruit flavors continue on the soft and silky palate with hints of peppery spice presenting in a long, pleasant finish.

CORRALILLO WINEMAKER’S BLEND
Composed of selected lots of Syrah, Malbec, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot this is a vibrant, bright medium bodied blend. The nose offers rich red fruit and hints of bittersweet cocoa. The palate is smooth with round, firm tannins and bold flavors of violets, damp earth and berry jam with notes of toasted oak on the finish.
