About the wine
Fruity and fresh Mediterranean-inspired blend from Connie
- After years under the thumb of corporate wineries Connie managed to break free and, thanks to Angel funding, something rather special has been happening in recent years; growers are now coming to her with their grapes instead of going to the giant wineries that dominate the Chilean wine industry.
- Central Valley is one of the prime wine areas in Chile for growing top-notch red grapes and, for this Grenache, Carignan, Mouverdre blend, inspired by her love by Mediterrenean blends. She harvested day by day to make sure each grape was at its optimum ripeness and then left the wine in plush French oak barrels for months.
- The result? A fresh, fruity red that’s beautifully balanced and boasts a lusciously long finish. Without your support this wine would never have happened so give yourselves a big pat on the back for being a huge part of Connie's success.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Constanza Schwaderer
- Connie is a Chilean rebel. She got sacked from a big winery for leading a revolution against the cheap, mass-produced wine Chile was churning out.
- Hiding out in tiny vineyards off the beaten track, Connie champions old Chilean grape varieties - farming them in traditional ways and hand-picking the fruit using local labour to regenerate the local economy.
- Thanks to Angel support, she’s rented a big old winery and scaled up production. So instead of her juice ending up in million-litre vats, blended into supermarket plonk, she’s able to turn it into delicious high-quality wines that put Chile on the map.

A really nicely balanced blend with a real smoothness and fruitiness. It initially had a real ‘tang’ to it but I think I had let it get a bit too warm in the decanter as it settled nicely in the glass. It was strong enough to balance with a garlic laden spaghetti bolognese and then be really subtle for the second glass. A most enjoyable bottle, certainly looking forward to the ‘X’. Thanks to CS & Naked for making this available.

Rich red with complex berry tastes. A hint of pepper in the aftertaste.
