Casas del Bosque not only holds the distinction of Chilean Winery of the Year<\/em>, having been so chosen two years in a row at the International Wine and Spirits Competition in London, it may also be the \u201chottest\u201d winery on the planet with more recent 90+ scores than anyone of us can count. Located just 40 miles from Chile\u2019s capital of Santiago and a mere 18 miles from Chile\u2019s principal port of Valparaiso, it is almost mind boggling to think that Casas del Bosque sprang to life in 1993, yet this seeming upstart has already garnered worldwide attention with a plethora of delicious, hedonistic wines at all levels.<\/p>\n

Although Casas del Bosque cultivates nearly 500 acres, it very much remains a boutique operation. In addition to its vineyards in Casablanca, the preferred South American locale for Pinot Noir, Syrah and premium white wine production, Casas del Bosque also possesses significant vineyard holdings in the premier red wine producing valleys of Maipo and Rapel south of Santiago, areas noted for fashioning exceptional Carmen\u00e8re and Cabernet Sauvignon. Casas del Bosque\u2019s meticulous attention to vineyard management and careful site and varietal selection guarantee superior fruit for the winery\u2019s extensive portfolio of high quality wines.<\/p>\n

Most premium wineries specialize in one or at most a few varietals that burnish their reputation and earn them medals at competitions and points from leading wine critics. In the case of Casas del Bosque, it is difficult to decide which wine stands out, as each varietal offering seems to have been blessed by the Midas Touch. Perhaps it is the fact that Casas del Bosque\u2019s vineyards have been meticulously selected for the right varietal and are spread throughout Chile\u2019s best viticultural valleys and microclimates. Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Riesling hail from the winery\u2019s superb Casablanca holdings and form the backbone of the estate\u2019s white wine portfolio. Exceptional Pinot Noir and Syrah are also cultivated by Casas del Bosque in Casablanca. Casas del Bosque\u2019s exceptional Carmen\u00e8re and Cabernet Sauvignon emanate from the warmer Rapel and Maipo valleys, while the winery\u2019s Peque\u00f1as Producciones (very limited productions) of Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, and Syrah are Casas del Bosque\u2019s ultimate luxury offerings. Among all varietals and at every price point, no one appears to be offering finer quality and value than Casas del Bosque. From Casas del Bosque\u2019s entry level 2015 Reserva Pinot Noir (92 points James Suckling) and 2015 Reserva Sauvignon Blanc (91 points Descorchados) to the estate\u2019s hallmark Platinum Award recipient 2014 Peque\u00f1as Producciones Syrah (96 points Decanter), which was also Decanter\u2019s \u201cbest Rh\u00f4ne style wine in Chile,\u201d no one tops Casas del Bosque right now for quality, value, and variety. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
