Explore Chile! 2 Bottles

Chile’s wines are a harmonious blend of exceptional quality, unique terroirs, and centuries of winemaking tradition. Nestled between the towering Andes and the vast Pacific Ocean, Chile boasts a climate of stunning diversity, from sun-kissed valleys to cool coastal breezes, creating the perfect conditions for crafting world-class wines.

Trapi del Bueno 2022 'Hand Made' Sauvignon Blanc, Chile

This energizing wine hails from Chile’s northern Patagonia / southern Lake District and is a mineral-driven, zippy Sauvignon Blanc that blasts citrus like grapefruit, passion fruit, guava contrasted by a dry, saline nature that makes it lip-smacking delicious. Wonderful with seafood, as an aperitivo, with ceviche, or with a chevre goat cheese tart and tomato salad.

The original plantings, dating back to the early 1990s, sit in gravelly soils studded with obsidian stones brought across the valley from Glass Mountain by the Native Americans that once camped along the creek. This vineyard is farmed “beyond organic” by Jim Gamble to cordon trained vines, low to the ground, which undulate along the alluvial fan allowing for wines of deep color. A cool evening breeze brought over the mountains from the Pacific Ocean assists in balancing the vineyard’s depth with a natural freshness, complementing the aromatically unique fruit from this well-draining site.
