More about the wine

Unmistakably Elqui. You could recognise the hot cassis, charcuterie and black olive notes from a mile off. This 100% Syrah spends some time in barrel, which adds complexity with notes of bitter chocolate and sweet spice, and it has a lively finish. An impressive terroir-driven wine from San Pedro 1865 that comes in at excellent value.

More about San Pedro 1865 winery

1865 is the line inspired by Viña San Pedro’s long heritage of winemaking in Chile (you guessed it, since 1865) but also the diverse vineyards and varieties they work with. This premium line is focused on singling out select vineyards for distinctive expressions. Young winemaker Andrea Calderón Vásquez is in charge of the line today and the wines often offer excellent value and benchmark wines for Chile.
