TASTING NOTES
Since reaching Chile in 1979, we have conducted some interesting viticultural experiments with different grape varieties. One of these, Shiraz, did not appear to really thrive in Curicó so after a few years we tried planting it in Linares, 140 km further south. There, growing in poor, well-drained soils, Shiraz provides low-yield but excellent harvests. Enjoy its intense, purple colour and its aroma with hints of small black fruits, violet and redcurrant.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
The perfect accompaniment for pasta and seasoned sauces, roasted and grilled meats, and exotic dishes.
