Overview of your Los andes tour:

The valley of Aconcagua valley , is among Chile's oldest red wine producers and first table grape fruit exports. Famous aristocrat Maximiano Errazuriz from late 1880's. first to notice its exceptional terroir and potential , producing exquisite cabs , Carmener and cab.Franc and petit verdot for blends. A valley that has all the right conditions : aluvial soil, long sunny summers , hi luminosity days with cool nights , also west winds come from the Pacific creating a soothing afternoon cool breeze wind corridor and thus avoiding fungus and other pests. Errazuriz, Escorial , Ed Flaherty or viña Von Siebenthal wineries focus on full bodied reds , tipically velvet rounded tannins and silky balanced wines with excellent storage potential. This valley also produces high quality fruit , considered the first fruit exporter in the 1920s. including different varieties of table grapes, prickly pears or enormous avocado plantations . A breathtaking scenic valley with the omni present Andes .

Drive northeast through the sharp scenic foothills of the Andes until entering the Aconcagua valley after the km long Chacabuco tunel. Twenty minutes away and we are in Ed Flaherty winery. Ed, who originally is from California, was before starting his own boutique winery, the chief winemaker for Errazuriz winery. He studied previously oenology, at Davis, university of California. His wines are smooth, silky, well structured and balanced. Some would describe them as friendly wines, just very easy to enjoy, even without food Escorial boutique winery , a intimate wine tasting with a passionate host , Charly, who will do a complete tasting with a charcuterie experience . You will try sangiovesse , which is hard to come by in Chile , as we focus mainly on french varieties , also aged silky oportos of which one of them are grapes grown at 1600 metres in the Andes.
