Viña Requingua Potro de Piedra Family Reserve

More about the wine

This wine is made from 70-year-old Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc vines and is classic Chile in a glass… crème de cassis, black cherries and liquorice with perfumed oak. Old school in style, but a welcome guilty pleasure for winter.

More about the winery

Viña Requingua is a family winery boasting over 1,050 hectares of vineyards planted in the heart of Chile’s Central Valley, in Colchagua, Curicó and Maule. The Viña Requingua winery is in Sagrada Familia, in Curicó, and was originally founded in 1961 and is still owned and run by the same family today.

A well-known producer in Chile, and best known for its warming red wines, Viña Requingua’s brands include Toro de Piedra, Potro de Piedra, Laku and Puerto Viejo, which offer good value wines across the board.

Seña

More about the winery

Seña started as an adventure between Robert Mondavi and Eduardo Chadwich (of Errázuriz) in 1995 which gave birth to iconic red blend from Aconcagua. Seña is Cabernet Sauvignon dominant but also includes Carmenère, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot, resulting in a very complex and ageworthy wine.

The grapes all come from a volcanic vineyard in central Aconcagua, 40 kilometres from the sea, which offers both ripe intensity and freshness to the wine. Vintages are increasingly elegant and Seña is also converting its vineyard to be certified biodynamic.

Altaïr Cabo de Hornos

written by Amanda Barnes

More about the wine

This Cabernet Sauvignon has always been San Pedro’s top wine and it has improved greatly over the last few years. The current release, the 2017 vintage, is the best Cabo de Hornos I’ve ever tried. With layers of cassis, blackcurrant leaf, graphite and black pepper, it’s complex and powerful (15.5%!) yet wonderfully balanced, with a long, smooth finish.

More about the winery

Altaïr wine and winery is the fine wine arm of Viña San Pedro making complex and full-bodied red wines from Cachapoal Andes. Altaïr is the top wine and Sideral is their second-label, but just as complex and ageworthy. You can visit the winery in Cachapoal for a tasting and even stay for lunch.

More about the wine

This long-standing Cachapoal red blend has undergone a transformation in recent years — now focusing on greater freshness with more Cabernet Sauvignon and less overripe fruit. The result is an ageworthy, more savoury wine with notes of pine, Indian spice and wild blackberry.
