The Cono Sur experience… has been amazing. Since I was a small boy I’ve wanted to work in a winery, but I was far from imagining that I would do so, and in such a great work environment, with very high quality standards and with co-workers that rapidly would turn into great friends. It’s incredible [...]

Just a quick note to say I love your Pinot Noir. It is simply a wonderful wine!
Thank youFernando, Chile
I am writing to congratulate you. I recently started to take pleasure in from wine, and last night I tried the best one of my life. I read the label and accompanied my sushi meal with bittersweet sauce, with Cono Sur Gewürztraminer. It was truly spectacular, and very pleasant to my pocket. There are no [...]

Hi, I just want to say that your Viognier is excellent. I’m Mexican and live in Dallas, and very proudly support Latin-American wine brands. I loved your product! I loved the price! I bought a bottle last Saturday and liked it so much that went back to Goody Goody to purchase the other four left. [...]
Cono Sur Wines
“Cono Sur, wine fit for an archbishop: Pinot Noir is very much in the soft, fruit-driven style of New World Pinot… Gewürztraminer, is rich, mouth-filling and spicy. My favourite, however, is the Viognier, displaying crisp acidity, balance and classic Viognier peach and apricot flavours.”
Julian Whittle / Cumberland News / UKCono Sur Gewürztraminer 2007
“Nominated by Miss M. Wood, of Bristol, as today’s Wine of the Week. It’s a lush white wine… the Chilean rendition of this exotic grape has the familiar lychee aroma, pineapple-nectarine-mango fruit and hint of spice of the Alsace original; and it has a briskness and lively freshness of its own. A fine aperitif and [...]
Cono Sur Sauvignon Blanc
“For a country that has a reputation of producing great red wine, the whites from Cono Sur are quite impressive. Very crisp and sharp with grapefruit and gooseberry flavours that Sauvignon Blanc is known for. This is an affordable and great example of the varietal, so if you are looking to try Sauvignon Blanc for [...]
Cono Sur Chardonnay 2007
“Lively medium straw colour, with spicy apple and pear on the nose that carries over onto the palate with hints of lime. Rich and ripe; medium full bodied, with good concentration and a long finish.”
Mathew Nugent / The Argus / UKCono Sur Pinot Noir 2008
“It is a big, muscular red with 14 per cent alcohol and earthy lipsmacking red fruit. It is classic Pinot with recognizable raspberry-cherry flavours, but also typical of the upfront, generous style of Chilean red wines.”
Christine Austin / Yorkshire Post / UKCono Sur Pinot Noir 2008
“With its sweet red fruit, exotic spice, and silky mouth-feel, this wine remains one of the world’s best-value examples of this variety.”
Matt Skinner / Aspect Country / UKCono Sur Viognier 2007
“When it comes to value for money, you can’t beat the wines of Cono Sur. Look for fantastic
notes of aromatic peach with rich aromas of honeysuckle and apricot. This bottle is calling for a
steaming bowl of delicious curry done up with a coconut milk and lots of spice.”
