  • Chilean Syrah from a Standing Start, Syrah Has Made It to Number Six in Chile’S Wine Pop Charts in Less Than 20 Years
    PANEL TASTING Chilean Syrah From a standing start, Syrah has made it to number six in Chile’s wine pop charts in less than 20 years. And this could be just the beginning, says Peter Richards MW The sTory of syrah in Chile is not a straightforward one. It’s a tale still in the telling, with a murky past, highs and lows, capped by an uncertain future trajectory. This makes it intriguing, especially given that for some time it has been generating a good deal of excitement among wine lovers in the know. The key thing is that there are many – from drinkers to producers and wine critics alike – who hope that this is one saga with a happy ending. The history of syrah in Chile is a matter of debate. records suggest it may have arrived as early as the first half of the 19th century, in the Quinta Normal nursery project in santiago. Its commercial origins in the country, however, are most commonly attributed to Alejandro Dussaillant, a french immigrant who arrived in Chile in 1874 and planted vineyards in the Curicó region which included ‘gross syrah’. (Though this could equally have been the aromatic savoie variety Mondeuse Noire, which goes under this epithet and, according to Wine Grapes, is a close relative of syrah.) either way, by the early 1990s there was scant trace of syrah in Chile, the theory being that, even if it had been there, it was lost in the agrarian reforms of the 1970s. This started to change in the mid-1990s.

  • International Viñas Del Aconcagua December
    GOLD MEDAL WINE CLUB TASTE THE ADVENTURE ARGENTINA C URRENTLY THE WORLD’S 5TH LARGEST WINE PRODUCER, ARGENTINA IS POISED TO BECOME A SERIOUS PLAYER IN THE INTERNATIONAL WINE MARKET. As with much of Argentina’s cuisine, the country’s huge wine industry had its roots in Spain. The first documented record of a commercial vineyard was by Jesuit missionaries in 1557. Three hundred years later, French agronomist Miguel Aime Pouget brought the first cuttings of Malbec to Argentina that would eventually grow to become the country’s signature varietal. Argentina currently ranks fifth in annual production and eighth in production, making its wine industry a very important part of the national economy. Vineyards now stretch from the tiny Jujuy Region in the far north to the Rio Negro Region, south southwest of Buenos Aires and far to the south of most vineyard land. Mendoza, in the center of the country, is the highest-rated wine producing region in the country and is home to the first quality movement the country has experienced in the past thirty years. In Mendoza, most of the vineyards are located at relatively high altitudes, ranging from 1900 to 3600 feet, much higher than most commercial vineyards in Europe and the United States. Many Argentine vintners place the altitudes of the vines on their front labels as a source of great pride and accomplishment. For many hundreds of years, quantity, as opposed to quality, was the formula for most Argentine wineries. With huge national consumption, there was little need of extremely high quality wines to compete on the international markets.

  • New World Wines
    Dear Wine for Funners As the initial lockdown passes and easing of restrictions continues, I’m not sure that we should be trying to regain the ‘normal’ that we took for granted, but rather, despite the uncertainty, embrace the changes to come. We have the opportunity to explore a new way of being, a new ‘norm’. In that vein, in with the new … New World wines The classification was originally based on geography with Europe and Mediterranean countries being the Old World and the New World being represented by the countries that they then colonised such as Australia, Chile, New Zealand, South Africa, Argentina and the USA. These new winemakers were able to experiment unencumbered by the constraints of tradition and rules and regulations. Over time these two contrasting approaches have established a middle ground where the New world producers are increasingly adopting the better aspects of tradition, and the Old World have taken on board the technical innovations pioneered by the New World. In the last quarter of the 20th century global exports of wine from the New World rose from 3% to 23% of the total. In 2020 New World producers account for six out of the ten top producers in terms of volume: Italy 4,796,600 tonnes Spain 4,607,850 tonnes France 4,293,466 tonnes United States of America, 3,300,000 tonnes China 1,700,000 tonnes Argentina 1,498,380 tonnes Chile 1,214,000 tonnes Australia 1,186,343 tonnes South Africa 1,146,006 tonnes Germany 920,200 tonnes Portugal 603,327 tonnes Romania 378,283 tonnes Greece 334,300 tonnes Russia 327,400 tonnes New Zealand 320,400 tonnes Brazil 273,100 tonnes Hungary 258,520 tonnes Austria 199,869 tonnes Serbia 198,183 tonnes Moldova 149,850 tonnes [worldpopulationreview.com] Initially New World wines reflected a tendency to showcase the qualities of the different varieties rather than relying on those traditionally associated with geographic regions and techniques.
