South American Wine
View Full Description [+ Read More]
South American wine spans multiple countries and climates, with Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay each contributing distinct expressions across red, orange, and skin-contact styles. Argentina's Mendoza region anchors the category through high-altitude Malbec, represented here by Piattelli Vineyards, Crios de Susana Balbo, and the Michel Rolland-led Clos de los Siete, a seven-estate collaboration in the Valle de Uco. Chile contributes Cabernet Sauvignon from Casas del Bosque in Casablanca, alongside experimental orange wines from Maturana and Viña Longaví using Torontel and Moscatel. Uruguay's Garzón brings Tannat, the grape historically associated with that country's Atlántico department. Caymus extends its reach southward with the Red Schooner Malbec, blending fruit across Andean growing regions. The range moves from fresh, early-drinking expressions to structured, cellar-worthy reds with significant aging behind them.
