You are right about their Carmenere, it is delicious. The Purple Angel is always a winner.Mean Deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02022490854230332084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6452921939629143326.post-76912181407659157932018-01-17T16:33:07.167-08:002018-01-17T16:33:07.167-08:00Surprised it took you so long to get to the Carmen...Surprised it took you so long to get to the Carmeneres, as the Chileans are so proud of that grape. I am also surprised to hear there are Chilean Chardonnays. When we were there ten years ago, we were told the Chardonnay grape didn't grow well in Chile, but did better in Argentina and those grapes were brought in to make the wine in Chile. Things could have changed by now, though, of course. We toured and thoroughly enjoyed some wineries in the Colchagua valley, an area very similar to the BC interior. Hope you have a chance to visit in the future! Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06983577756774421211noreply@blogger.com
