    CHILE Chilean whites: ‘The important thing on the up is sticking to your guns and following what you Breaking free from Chile’s long association with red wines, the country’s winemakers are going to extremes to find a greater believe in’ Rafael Tirado, Laberinto diversity of terroir, in a quest for enhanced complexity and quality in their white wines, as Peter Richards MW reports emerging, which is much more diverse and interesting. This new Chile will produce more white wines.’ A path less trodden Chile’s best white wines are all about extremes. The country’s top white producers have left the comfort zone of the Central Valley and climbed high into the Andes foothills, struck out for the coast, or headed south in search of cooler, more marginal conditions and diverse soils. And it’s not just about points of the compass, either – it’s also about mindset. ‘Today, technology has supplanted imagination in many winemakers,’ asserts Pablo Morandé, a pioneer of Chilean whites who originally developed Casablanca and now produces mould-breaking wines at Bodegas Re. ‘But to make great whites, you need to be absolutely free with your winemaking.’ The southern extremities of Chilean wine country are producing some particularly exciting whites, often majoring on brisk acidity and restrained, ageworthy characteristics. SoldeSol is an excellent line of wines made at Viña Aquitania in the Traiguén area of Malleco, by thoughtful winemaker Felipe de Solminihac. ‘People know Chile as a warm country, a red wine producer,’ muses de Solminihac. ‘But SoldeSol wines are different, even from other IMAGine THE Scene.

  • A Chilean Wine Primer the ‘Global Financial Crisis’ Has Not Stopped People from Enjoying Wine, but It Has Made Many People More Price- Sensitive
    First published online at www.nicks.com.au Chile's geography is amongst the most spectacular in the world. Its wines are fast catching up to the scenery. Above: Arboleda's vineyards in the Aconcagua Valley. A Chilean Wine Primer The ‘Global Financial Crisis’ has not stopped people from enjoying wine, but it has made many people more price- sensitive. Reports from retailers, restauranteurs and industry analysts indicate that consumers are buying as much wine as they did a year ago, though they’re spending much less. Naturally, the big beneficiaries are those that can offer outstanding wines at bargain prices. Chile is one of these. The last five or six vintages have been very good, with many believing that the 2007 vintage reds will surpass the exceptional 2005 and 2003 vintages in quality. As challenging as this might make things for Australian and New Zealand producers, it presents an opportunity for Chilean wines to move up the scale in price and prestige, and enter the middle segment of the market, at least so long as Chile’s winemakers can resist the temptation to return to the ‘bargain basement’. With land and labour costs still far below those of ‘premier’ regions like Bordeaux or the Barossa, Chilean winemakers have known for some time that if they can focus on quality, they can over-deliver at almost any price point. The perception of Chile as a producer solely of inexpensive but pleasant, value for money wines has been difficult to shrug off. It was abruptly skewed with the release of Eduardo Chadwick’s ‘Sena’ in 1995.
