The Wine The Wine
Chile
Region:Valle Central
In the 1960s Semillon was widely planted across Chile, but fashions shifted and many vineyards were replaced by Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, leaving only a small area today. So, when this example stood out at a Chilean tasting, we secured the entire parcel. From rare, low yielding old vines in Apalta in the Colchagua Valley, it offers fresh aromatics, gentle mid-palate weight and lingering lemon barley fruit, combining heritage with vibrant, modern charm.

"These Semillon grapes come from Apalta, within the Colchagua Valley. The vines are located in the transition in-between the lower clay soils and the granitic higher areas of the foothills of the Apalta hills. They are not irrigated, and the yields are very low. Apalta is an area with a lot of sun exposure but with good ventilation due to the coastal influence and it delivers wines with very good structure. That is to say, they are more powerful and intense than usual." - Oscar Salas Steinlen, Winemaker.
