For me, the Cono Sur experience…
Has been a spectacular experience, as I’ve met so many warm and friendly people. It’s so valuable to work with such a professional team in such a great and welcoming atmosphere. I very quickly felt part of the Cono Sur family.

Holly, Latvia
My husband and I are so impressed with your eco friendly ideology and wonderful wine, that you are the only brand we buy anymore. Literally, we no longer buy any other wine. But organic wine or not, we would not be hooked on you if your wine wasn’t so great! Thank you for your respect [...]

Cono Sur Visión Riesling 2007 / Silver, Best in Class, IWSC 2008
“Exciting varietal character, classy, with a touch of minerality, lime and grapefruit. It has a brilliant pale greenish straw colour with golden flecks. The first palate is sweet, followed by well defined crisp texture and finish with true delicacy. Cool climate elegance, impressive, exemplary winemaking.”
International Wine & Spirits Competition / UK
Cono Sur Viognier 2008
“Sultry, smooth and luxurious, this is loaded with apricot blossom and freshly baked patisserie notes on the nose and it is blessed with a heavenly, honeyed palate. Utterly captivating and perfect for a dinner party, this is one of the most impressive whites of the year so far.”
Matthew Jukes / Daily Mail / UK
Wine of the Week: Cono Sur Pinot Noir 2007
“Pinot Noir is a hard grape to get right, but Cono Sur captures the ripe mulberry and plum notes perfectly with rich fish dishes, chicken and lighter meat ones too. You could even chill it a few degrees and tackle something spicy.”
Matthew Jukes / Daily Mail / UK
Cono Sur Viognier 2008
“Is the last vintage of this crisp, lively, aromatic dry white from Chile. It’s full of melon, peach and apricot flavours and has a gentle touch of spice. Enjoy it on its own or with shellfish or Thai food.”
Tim Curran / The Daily Mirror / UK
Cono Sur 20 Barrels Limited Edition Merlot 2006 / Silver, Best in Class – IWSC 2008
“Deep crimson red core colour extends to rim. Oaky nutmeg aromas, followed by sweet red cooked plum, spice and cassis. Nice mouthfeel, fresh and juicy, all in balance. A very lovely glass of wine.”
International Wine & Spirit Competition 2008 / UK
Sommeliers
It’s always a great idea to have a sommelier nearby when choosing which wine you’ll drink. But who are these wonderful people who know so much about food and wine?
Let’s start from the beginning, which like many things goes back to the middle ages, when the word was firs used. It has a French origin, [...]Cono Sur 20 Barrels Limited Edition Sauvignon Blanc 2007

October 2008What I’ve enjoyed most this week: Cono Sur Sparkling Brut, Chile.
“I was much taken with this sparkler from the Bío Bío Valley when I tried it in Chile and I am delighted that it’s arrived here. A blend of 90 per cent Chardonnay, seven per cen7 Riesling and three per cent Pinot Noir, produced by the Charmat process, it’s clean and refreshing with a delicate [...]
No colour consensus when in comes to the classic turkey wine (Cono Sur Pinot Noir 2007)
“In recent times Pinot Noir has been touted by some to be the perfect turkey wine, although it’s the fruity versions that work the best, and that usually means New World picks from California, New Zealand and Chile. My pick is Cono Sur Pinot Noir 2007 because nothing much changes here, except possibly for a [...]
Cono Sur Reserva Viognier 2008
“Sultry, smooth and luxurious, this is loaded with apricot blossom and freshly baked patisserie notes on the nose and is blessed with a heavenly, honeyed palate. Utterly captivating and perfect for a dinner party, this is one of the most impressive whites of the year so far.”
