Like Wine For Chocolate

Como Vino para Chocolate…Like Wine for Chocolate…this February, and Valentine’s Day, sweeten your life with a couple of our direct import wines from small producers in Chile that pair brillantly with white & dark chocolate, respectively:

Trapi Handmade Chardonnay 2022: Born in the cold, southern vineyards of the Chilean lake district, this Chardonnay has more in common with Burgundy than its South America peers, partially because of Trapi’s dedication to working with the ‘golden’ lies, assuring a creamy texture without having to overoak.  Notes of sweet lemon curd come together with a hint of pineapple and toasty cookies from neutral ok.  While it pairs beautifully with savory dishes (nearly all seafood and poultry), why not try this with white chocolate or salted caramel bonbons? We think it may blow your mind.

Gryphus Blend 2019: With nearly 5 years of evolution already, this lush vino tinto is full of elegance and balance. Made from a limited production of 4,400 bottles, this is not your typical Chilean Cabernet blend. It’s 50% Carmenere with the unusual, and delicious, addition of 25% Petit Verdot and 25% Petite Syrah to add fruitiness, depth, and spiciness. With notes of dark fruits and berries, chocolate, vanilla, and smooth, silky tannins bound together by a bright acidity, it’s the perfect partner for red wine (and dark chocolate) lovers.

Both of these beauties hit the holy wine trifecta of high acid, low alcohol and are driven by minerality (complexity) in addition to being organically/sustainably grown by humans we know and love, vegan (no egg whites used to clarify), and minimal use of sulfites.
