Enjoy this Gold medal winning Roaring Red that combines the best fruit of Chile’s Central Valley
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Ligeroso
Roaring Red
The Central Valley of Chile is a favorite of some of our experts. The Humboldt current sweeps in across the landscape from Antarctica, cooling a valley that would otherwise have to rely on the mountain breezes. In our opinion, the region has some of the most interesting soils, and future winemaking prospects, of anywhere in South America. The Ligeroso Roaring Red combines grapes from two ends of the valley, to take the best of both terroirs. The wine really is “roaring” with a lively acidity, notes of dark fruit, and a little smoke. We have enjoyed pairing this wine with almost anything that comes off the grill, especially darker, gamier meats. This wine just took home Gold at the 2018 Denver International Wine Competition!

WINE REGION:
Chile
In recent years, Chile has increasingly produced incredible wines of exceptional value. With a setting influenced by the Andes Mountains, the Pacific Ocean, the Atacama Desert and even Antarctica, Chile is a diverse land with rocky foothills, lush valley floors and cool coastal zones. Chile gained international renown for its New World take on classic Bordeaux varieties. Interestingly, it's an obscure red Bordeaux variety—Carménère—that has become Chile's signature grape. But other Old World varieties do equally well in Chile; Pinot Noir, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay have all become mainstays of Chilean wine, exhibiting impressive levels of quality and balance in the country's distinct terroirs.

TASTING NOTES:

Smoke
We love the lively mix of acidity and dark fruit in the Ligeroso. It is perfect for pairing with grilled meats and roasted vegetables. The round tannins in this wine are a great peek at what Chilean wines can be.
