This wine is from Alto Cachapoal in the East, at the foothills of the Andes. The Chardonnay sinks its roots into the gravel and sandy soils soaking up the Mediterranean style climate. Along comes one of the mad guys who spent 6 years working in Burgundy (Vosne Roman\u00e9e no less) a specialist in small batch fermentations and as quick as you can say \u2018Chile\u2019 he has rustled up this delight. Fresh citrus fruits on the nose, medium to full body…why not come and try it yourselves.<\/p>\n Vina Chocalan Reserva Cabernet Franc 2011, Maipo Valley – \u00a314.29<\/strong><\/p>\n No mad guys here, Vina Chocalan is a family owned estate with about 100 hectares. Six of which are planted to Cabernet Franc on the Pacific side of the Maipo<\/strong> Valley where they too enjoy a Mediterranean climate. Chalky soils with a little clay make for some terrific Syrah from here, but we particularly liked this Cabernet Franc. Rich with the beautiful floral notes that we love about Cabernet Franc we think it would be a delicious match with some pan-fried pigeon breast. Come along and tell us what you\u2019d drink it with.<\/p>\n That\u2019s us for this week so stop by, taste wine, look at our certificate and bask in our thanks for you all being so supportive.<\/p>\n Chuffed.<\/p>\n Alex & Wayne<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fellow Wine Lovers, Wayne is back from his holidays, but be reassured there\u2019ll be no pictures furore; he kept his shirt on the entire time.
