Hey Emily,

In Santiago, you can find most of these between the two main wine shops: Vinoteca and Mundo del Vino. I know off the top of my head that MV has Aquitania, Maycas, and Leyda. Vinoteca has Amayna, Matetic, De Martino, Los Vascos.
Los Vascos and Cousiño Macul you should be able to find in Eastern-area grocery stores like Lider or Jumbo (better stocked ones, not these crappy “express” version).
Thanks for reading. Make sure to sign up for our newsletter that will be debuting very soon. I am going to be profiling different valleys/terroir with wine recs–independent of the blog.

Cheers!

Thanks- that’s pretty far south, isn’t it? The cooler the better!

The new Pinot sounds great!

Awesome post! Feel free to make more lists of other varietals. Also, I’m a huge fan of your blog and I love all your insight into the food and wine scene here in Chile (I live here as well)

I look forward to your posts every week!

PS-Any recommendations as to where I can buy these wines here in Santiago?

It’s beyond the Bio Bio. Stay tuned. Aquitania has a Pinot Noir coming out this year. Can you say Williamette or Otago-style?! Yeah!

Excellent post. I am so in love with Chilean Sauvignon Blanc, that I don’t try as many Chardonnays as I should.

I agree totally about the Amayna from Garces-Silva- it is still the best Chilean Chardonnay I’ve ever had. I must admit though to never trying the Aquitania, Sol di Sol – I’ll have to check that one out.

By the way, I’m not familiar with the Traigen Valley- where exactly is that?
