Chile, Vina San Pedro

 

1508363139182566309884.jpg

Besides Errazuriz another important winery in the Chilean wine landscape is Vina San Pedro.

Founded in 1865, San Pedro is one of the oldest wineries in the Chilean wine industry. San Pedro is located on the Curico Valley, 200 km away from Santiago. San Pedro has one of the largest holdings of vineyards in Chile comprising regions such as Elqui, Casablanca, San Antonio, Maipo, Cachapoal, Maule and Bio-Bio.

San pedro was founded by brothers Bonifacio and José Gregorio Correa Albano. At the beginning, they start producing wines using local varieties but slowly they began to introduce European varieties to replace those indigenous varieties.

Succesful in North America and key European wine markets such as Germany and the UK, they well know with brands such as GatoNegro, 35˚South and Castillo de Molina.

San Pedro is one of the few Chilean wineries showing that Chile is quite capable of making wines verging toward a new world style. Their 1865 line brings to mind an echo of Bordeaux and Burgundy. This come as no surprise since two of their winemakers have worked Marco Puyo and Gonzalo Castro have worked in both Bordeaux and Burgundy.

I recently had a chance to taste a selection of their most representative brands in the Quebec and Ontario markets. These are marvelous wines and illustrate some of the best wines that Chile is producing nowadays:

1865 Sauvignon Blanc Leyda Valley. LCBO # 375212. $18.95

Faces of Chilean wine-Part I: Errazuriz wine estates.

Chile, Errazuriz, Sena

Image result for errazuriz vinedos

In my early days of wine drinking, Chilean wines were more of an afterthought. Those were the wines that drank when I did not have any more money. I remember drinking with fondness Gato Negro , Casillero del Diablo and Frontera. They were simple, yet delicious. In those early formative years, I thought that the spectrum of possibilities for Chilean wines was limited under the $12 bracket.

As the years passed on, my knowledge of Chilean expanded considerably. My first taste of premium Chilean wines was Almaviva, the joint venture, between Baroness Philippine de Rothschild and Concha y Toro. It was kind of like a Pauillac with a latin groove.

In my subsequent holiday trips to Venezuela, I discovered Don Melchor and Montes as well. In the early 2000’s, Venezuela was an important market for Chilean wines. I bought a lot of Don Melchor over there.

In an series of two post, I will share some of the wine estates that are positioning Chile in the premium wine category. On this posts, I will discuss some of the wines of Errazuriz and in a later posts the wines of Vina San Pedro.

20170913_111025

Not long ago, I had a chance to encounter Maria Luisa Errazuriz, marketing director of Vina Errazuriz, Caliterra and Vinedo Chadwick. Maria was passing in Montreal. The tasting took place in the offices of their Canadian Importer Philippe Dandurand. In a candid presentation and tasting, she describe the efforts of her family to specialize in Chilean premium wines and spread the gospel that image that Chile has more to offer than inexpensive wines.

The story of Errazuriz goes back to 1870 when Don Maximiano Errazuriz founded the estate in the Aconcagua Valley A man ahead of his time, he planted the first french grape varieties, In less than a decade his wines were among the best of the world. His motto was ” De la mejor tierra, el mejor vino”. This translate as ” from the best land, the best wine”

The Aconcagua Valley is one of the key wine growing areas of Chile. Only 100km north-west of Chile’s capital, Santiago, the Aconcagua Valley is an amazing wine spot. The name ‘Aconcagua’ means ‘Stone Sentinel’ in the ancient native language, and the valley is named after the mountain which constitute  its eastern border, which at 6962m high, is the highest peak of the Andes, and the highest as well in America.

The Valle de Aconcagua itself is very warm  and becomes fierce hot further inland. Moving far east, ideal conditions can be found for red wine production. Some of the best sites are on well-drained slopes, quite rare in Chile

In researching this post, I found many  important historical precedents that  bear witness to the contribution of Errazuriz to the Chilean wine industry. For instance, in 1993, the family were one of the pioneers of the introduction of Syrah in Aconcagua Valley. The climax of this proyect took form in the cumbre bottling which come from mountain syrah from the Aconcagua Valley. A good mixture of crispy whites and full bodied, intense reds are produced

Ten years after,  when Carmenere was identified in Chile,  Errazuriz did it again by  launching  one of the first ultra premium Carmenere based wine, Kai which means plant in aboriginal Chilean language. Kai took the International wine market by storm, receiving important accolades and the 2006 vintage was a winner in the Berlin Tasting 2010 in New York.

In 1995, Errazuriz were the first Chilean winery to establish an international joint venture. Following the lines of Opus One in California, Sena wine was a collaboration between Eduardo Chadwick, president of Errazuriz and the late Robert Mondavi. The objective was to create a Chilean grand cru in the Aconcagua Valley.

Pair it with empanadas of confit de canard.

Sena wine

The word Sena means signal in Spanish, and this wine was conceived to send a message to the world that Chile was capable of world class terroir wines.

Always a  red Bordeaux blend since its first vintage in 1995, the wine is born  from vineyards located  on north-east facing hillsides in Aconcagua. The location was well thought, for the finesse and balance to be accentuated in this wine Cabernet Sauvignon accounted for 50% of the wine, but the blend also has  varying proportion of Carménère among other varieties, to impart a native Chilean signature.

The wine is a protagonist in the so called Berlin Tastings. These are series of Tastings where Sena and other premium wines of Errazuriz are blind tasted again its peers such as Solaia, Tignanello and Sassicaia as well as Chateau Latour and Margaux.

The first vintage of Sena that I tried was the 2008. A ravishing wine with notes of cohiba cigar, dark chocolate, black currants and spices. Mesmerizing with powerful tannins, yet presented in a silky palate.

I recently tasted the 2014 ( SAQ # 13098393, $195.25 for the 2013 vintage).  in a trade tasting. I found it fresher and vibrant. The nose was more into bright black fruits, licorice, fennel and red currants. On the palate, there was more finesse and balance, still powerful but with a feminine quality to it much like a Chateau Margaux. It is a very graceful wine.

Chile, a phoenix rise from the ashes

Arboleda, Chile, Luis Felipe Edwards

Image result for phoenix

Once upon a time, you would fast pick a mediocre $9 Cabernet from Chile to bring to a potluck party, or sip a glass of cheap Chilean Chardonnay at a wedding and not think twice about it. I have some good news: today’s Chilean wine industry has become more quality-focused, and an increasing number of Chilean wines are unique, special, and delicious. Lots of producers—such  Arboleda and Luis Felipe Edwards.—have made strong commitments to better vineyards practices, and winemakers are busy exploring the country’s old vines and unique terroir.

The kicker is? Even these new-wave Chilean wines offer a great value for your dollar. If you’re shopping for value—good wines with great prices—Chile is still the place to look. It’s just that the wines are better than ever before.

Image result for chile wine country

Like in other new world wine regions, such as New Zealand and South Africa, a Chilean wine will pit its grape front and center on the label.

Chilean law states that that the specific grape, vintage, and geographical area (Denominación de Origen) constitutes 75% of what’s in the bottle. That’s right, up to a quarter of the bottle’s contents doesn’t need to be declared. But the reality, most Chilean wines will have at least 85% of what’s claimed on the label, so the bottles remain legal for distribution in Europe.

Something to now: some terms on Chilean wine labels are not that necessary. For example, Reserva or Reserva Especial indicates that the wine is at least 12% alcohol. Reserva Privada and Gran Reserva raise that requirement up to 12.5%. Additionally, Reserva Especial and Gran Reserva can be used if the wine has seen at least a little oak. But none of these titles will actually give you any sense of quality: for example, you could buy great Sauvignon Blanc from a chilly vineyard that doesn’t meet these requirements, and crappy Cabernet Sauvignon from a hot area that does.

A mix of factors explains the successful growth of the Chilean wine industry. Geographical diversity is one of them. The first good Chilean wines were produced in the fertile valleys in the country’s centre. But now it has been discovered that many wines are better when the vineyards are near the Pacific Ocean, for instance, or at high altitude in the Andes, or in the hillsides instead of lower elevations at the valley bottom, or in particular types of soil. There are a lot of variables.

Old wine areas, abandoned for a long time, have been rediscovered, and completely new areas identified. New grape varieties are tested and new technologies developed or invested in.

Long gone are the days where Chilean wines were confined only to Steak  Latin American cuisine. Today, wines from Chile are very versatile with all kinds of cuisine specially Asian. In Canada, they are gaining momentum in the province of Quebec whereas in the past, they were only strictly favored in the English provinces of Ontario and British Columbia. Evidence of the success of Chilean wines is this year theme of La Grande Dégustation de Montréal.

Image result for la grande degustation 2016

Every year, this famous salon highlights specific themes, which permits visitors discover a wine region, a wine variety or a featured product. In 2016, one of these themes are the wines of Chile. Wine lovers will be able to taste wines from more than 20 producers and more than 100 wines.

20160913_140510.jpg

I recently had a chance to taste the wines of two great Chilean producers: Luis Felipe Edwards and Arboleda. Luis Felipe Edwards, one of Chile’s leading family-owned wineries, is passionately devoted to producing top quality wines from carefully tended low-yielding vines up to 75 years old. In Contrast Eduardo Chadwick, who is behind Chilean top houses like Seña, Viñedo Chadwick and Viña Errazuriz, founded Arboleda in 1999; his own personal luxury project. Arboleda is a “boutique winery” – a small winery – which most often means high quality.

Here are my notes from some of my favorite wines that I have been tasting since the last few weeks.

An encounter with Sebastien Labbe of Vina Carmen

05 Friday Dec 2014

Chile, La Chronique, Vina Carmen

20140909_180708

I have to admit that i am not into new world wines. From time to time, i might drink American, South African , Argentinian and Chilean wines.  I favor terroir nuances over fruit character  and judicious use of oak instead of excessive woodiness. These are some of wine beliefs made in the course of my wine drinking years about New World Wines.

20140909_180823

So when an opportunity presented in September to taste the wines of notable  Chilean producer Carmen presented by its chief winemaker, Sebastien Labbe.,  it was a perfect occasion to test some of my beliefs and check out the Chilean state of wine affair. Although, i have to admit that one big producer cannot give you an exact picture of the industry of a wine producer, but it can point some useful trends.

The history of Chile Viticulture dates back to the Spanish Conquest. In the 16th, these settlers brought grapevine cuttings. Later in the 19th, French vinifera varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot were introduced. In the 1980’s important advancements in the wine industry occurred such as the introduction of stainless steel tanks and oak barriques to ferment and age wines.As as consequence, quality and thus exports grew rapidly.

Some quicks facts about Chile wine industry.

  • Chile has 14 regions where wine grapes. This represents a total of 194,600 hectares
  • Chile is the eight wine producer of the world. ( 9.9 million hl)
  • Chile is the fifth wine exporter of the world ( 6.9 million hl)

Carmen is the oldest Chilean winery. It was founded in 1850 and quickly became one of the leaders of the premium wine segment. It was in Carmen in 1994, that ampelographers identified Carmenere, the most important wine grape of Chile. In 1999, Carmen became the pioneers in releasing the first certified organic Chilean wine.

The Carmen winery owns vineyards across these Chilean wine regions. These include: Limari, Apalta, Rapel, Maipo, Casablanca and Leyda.

Carmen produces five lines of wines. These are Clasico, Reserva, Gran Reserva, Winemaker’s and Gold. Here is a brief description according to them:

  • Clasico: Wines for everyday drinking
  • Reserva: The expression of the grape varietals. Designed to shine along food pairings
  • Gran Reserva: Top quality single vineyard valley expression
  • Winemaker’s: They show the winemaker expertise
  • Gold: The purest expression of Cabernet Sauvignon.

Like I said before, I had a chance to taste the Carmen wines in the company of Sebastien back on September in the fabled Restaurant La Chronique. I was very surprised by the high quality of the wines and how they reflect the Chilean Terroir.

20140909_195157

I really liked the Pinot Noir paired with a Halibut Steak served with chanterelle mushrooms and porto sauce. the earthiness of the Pinot Noir bringing out the aromatic nuances of the mushrooms and the wine tannins are just perfect for the fleshiness and sweet taste of the Halibut.

 

carmenere

Reserva Carmenere 2013. Code SAQ: 10967645. Price: $13.95

Confit black fruit with bell pepper jelly flavors. In the mouth, full body with a velvety texture in the palate. Flavors remind me of black licorice. Oak well integrated. Long finale. 93/100.

20140909_203054

This was a fantastic accord with the Rack of lamb from Kamouraska served with a chick pea puree. The lamb making rounder the tannins of the wine and bringing out to shine the balsamic flavors of it. Very classic accord.

My conclusion for this is that Chile is making some mind provoking wines that have much grounds in common with the Old World. This is still a country that is just beginning to explore their terroirs, so there is great room for exploration and discovery. I am glad that i broke some misconceptions about Chilean wines and new world wines in general.

The invitation to taste the wines of Carmen was made by Luc Provencher, from Charton Hobbs, the importer of this wonderful Chilean winery in Quebec. Many thanks for having me permitted to assist to this tasting.
