The show goes on: New products that would’ve launched at ProWein

Aresti Chile

The past year has seen Aresti research the Deep Curicó Valley to present exclusive and unique wines under its Aresti Trisquel Series range – it was set to present its findings at ProWein however, due to the cancellation it is planning trips to present its wines to its main importers on a one-to-one basis, as well as sending samples.

It will also be showcasing its recently relaunched Espiritu de Chile brand – comprising the Explorador, Intrépido and Viajero ranges, which are designed to appeal to outdoors-loving consumers, including two blends made from Chile’s ancient and heritage varieties. The Intrépido Patrimonial Reserva Blanco is a white blend of Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Muscat, from the Curicó valley, along with the Intrépido Patrimonial Reserva Tinto, a red blend of Carignan, País, and Cinsault from the Maule valley appellation. 

Winemaker Juan Ignacio Montt said these two new blends would give new prominence to Chile’s heritage grape varieties, many of which were among the first ones brought to the country.

“By blending ancient and more ‘modern’ grape varieties we seek to continue to promote Chile’s living spirit of diversity and quality,” he said.
