Huaso de Sauzal, Chilena Pais

by Amanda Barnes
written by Amanda Barnes

More on the wine

This is called ‘Chilena’ because it is one the most Chilean of all the varieties in Chile, Pais. Coming from the first criolla grapes that came with the Spanish missionaries 500 years ago, Pais has deep roots but is only recently being elevated to a new level beyond the table wine it used to be. Renan Cancino and his project Huaso de Sauza is one of the projects that has elevated the grape. Made as a natural wine, this is home made in his garage winery with no added sulpher.

More on the producer

Renan Cancino is one of Chile’s most sought-after viticulturists, and while he has made his name for tending vines, his wine production under the Huaso de Sauza brand is also turning heads. As well as Pais, he makes an excellent Carignan and also makes a fruity Grenache. Cancino is a natural winemaker, whose philosophy is making wines as the way they were always made historically in Chile – naked.

Leyda, Single Vineyard Garuma, Sauvignon Blanc

written by Amanda Barnes

More on the wine

Coastal Sauvignon Blanc is one of Chile’s most emblematic wines, and this wine flies that flag high! A great example of Sauvignon Blanc from Leyda with all the freshness and citrus you expect from a coastal Sauvignon Blanc, but also some body to back it up.

More on the producer

Leyda was one of the first wineries to work in the Leyda region (hence why they got the name!) and their production always focuses on clean, fresh wines made from this cooler coastal climate. The winemaker Viviana Navarrete is one of Chile’s leading lady winemakers and consistently makes solid wines that deliver on price point and encapsulate Leyda in a bottle.

More on the wine

Coming from a volcanic area and plantation, Laberinto offers distinctive wines that express their unique location in Colbun. This wine is made in stainless steel tanks, and the production is 6000 bottles.

More on the producer

Rafael Tirado is part of the best know winemaking twins in South America. His brother Enrique makes one of Chile’s most prized and expensive wines under Chile’s largest producer Concha y Toro, while Rafael has opted for the other end of the spectrum: boutique and under the radar, although just as complex. His vineyards are planted in a maze-like formation near Lago Colbun in Maule.
