Expectations are raised when you come across a wine of a rare grape variety on the shelves, and even more when it comes from the Bío-Bío Valley. The variety Gewürztraminer which comes from Germany, should find excellent conditions in these southern lands. Gewürztraminer wines are aromatic, citric and somewhat sweet, although there is much discussion in Europe about the custom of adding sugar to the must; we will see if these wines keep the same characteristics over the next few years.

This Gewürztraminer wine from de Cono Sur Vineyard raises great expectations due to its lovely colour and floral aroma, but in the mouth it may frighten more than a few. It seems unlikely that it will be able to approach the position held by Chilean Chardonnay, which is reaching a high level of development at all levels of production. Recommended only by those of a curious disposition.
