Cono Sur Organic Cabernet Sauvignon / Carmenere 2008: Best Value Red Wine.
“Best value red of this release and from organically grown grapes. Aromas of black raspberry, cedar and cherries lead into big hearted black cherry, vanilla and plum flavours. The Colchagua Valley is home to fabulous reds.”

Due to the strong commitment Cono Sur has with its icon variety, the company has built an additional and modern winery specially intended for the vinification of Premium Pinot Noir, in which traditional Burgundy methods are applied.

Cono Sur Merlot 2007
“Opulent, plummy and delicately spiced… Soft, smooth, sumptuous and elegantly structured, this vibrantly aromatic and intensely fruity Chilean red contains charming chocolaty backnotes and would be an ideal accompaniment to traditional autumnal fare such a venison, game or hearty, meaty casseroles.”

Cono Sur 20 Barrels Chardonnay 2007: 90 points
“Very floral, with a long, elegant palate of honeysuckle and orange blossom backed by white peach, chamomile and yellow apple flavors. The finish is long, pure and minerally. Drink now through 2010.”
James Molesworth / Wine Spectator April 2009 / USACono Sur Reserva Chardonnay 2007: Wine of the week.
“A lusty, ripe peach-and-honey-soaked Chardonnay that is stunningly appointed and dripping with fruit flavours. Rich, but not too heavy, it is perfectly balanced and extraordinary value for money. A stunning partner for fish and chicken dishes.”

Just had your Pinot at dinner this week and it was amazing. I need to get some for my collection!
Thanks.Joaquín, Mexico
Excellent wine, I enjoyed it this weekend (Pinot Noir) and it’s of great quality.
Jose, Chile
One of these March weekends, at the end of the summer, on a sunny day, me and my friends got together to cook some home-made pastas, as we usually do. We served your Reserva Merlot and the result was amazing! Excellent!

Discovering Rosé
When talking about Rosé wines we become conscious of all the myths and beliefs regarding their composition and effects. We also realize that we don’t really know that much about Rosés, as we would about reds and whites. How are they produced? Why do they have that pinkish colour? Are they sweeter? Should they be [...]

Kisses from Chimbarongo, by Hervé Lalau
That’s it, I’m in Chile. I am writing from Chimbarongo, in the very entrance of the Colchagua Valley.
After the cold European winter, it’s quite strange to feel the warm Chilean sun on my skin.
From Santiago we took the highway to the south, a road with the Andes on one side and Central Valley growing’s on [...]Bárbara Le Bert / Cono Sur Brand Manager for Latin America, the Caribbean, Eastern Europe, Canada, and Asia.
For me the Cono Sur experience… has been good. I’ve learned about thing I didn’t know before. The winemaking process is extremely interesting, from planting the fruit until you’re selling the already bottled wine in a far away country. It’s amazing! It’s great to work with people who are all over the world, as you [...]
Xavier, France.
I should write this message in French! As a matter of fact, I am French, but I am living in Recife (Pernambuco). I am an oenologist and wine grower (Domaine de la Folie in Rully) from Burgundy.
I have tasted your Pinot Noir 2006 and have been impressed by the general quality and by the [...]
