Wines of Chile
Hosted by Susy Atkins
Chile's perfect climate and geographical location, nestled between the Andes Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, offer winemakers excellant conditions to make premium wines with character and diversity, in a naturally eco-friendly enviroment.
New vineyard plantings, especially in the cooler costal and higher alitude areas, are helping to define a truly modern Chilean style, rich in diversity, character and naturalness.
Susy Atkins is a well-known, award-winning wine writer and broadcaster. She writes the weekly 'Sauce' column for the Sunday Telegraph, and is wine editor for Delicious magazine, as well as appearing regularly as wine expert on BBC1's Saturday Kitchen and Channel 4's Richard & Judy.
In this tasting, Wines of Chile, the generic promotional body for Chilean wine, has offered Susy Atkins their portfolio, to select what she considers to be exceptional examples of the country they call, ‘’the winemakers paradise’’.
