Lime and sweet citrus notes. The palate is full of wet wool, white peach, and a hint of flor. Long, with lime and greengage notes. Long, rich, with almond notes underneath. Fascinating.

It was an absolute pleasure to be back in Chile to write the third edition of the Alistair Cooper MW by Catad’Or Wine Guide in April of 2024. While I still get to taste many wines from Chile while at home in the UK, nothing can beat spending time in the country, visiting vineyards, meeting producers, and tasting the wines together. Understanding the context of these wines through listening to the winemakers and their thought processes behind them is invaluable when writing a guide such as this.
