In the context of the third Chilean wine tasting carried out by Jay Miller for the prestigious American magazine The Wine Advocate, Viña San Pedro was very pleased to have the chance to host a tasting for him in its vineyard at the Elqui Valley, and show him “in situ” our latest news and the wines born in this terroir.
This time, Jay Miller, the expert in who Robert Parker –one of the most important critics in the world–, delegated the tastings and ratings for his publication of the wines steming from Latin America among other regions, decided to make his tastings on the field. This is why he undertook a visit to Chile from March 4th to the 12 th.
In order to surprise Miller, San Pedro offered him a tasting of nine wines, conducted by Marco Puyo, Winemaker of Premium and Reserve Wines, in a very nice place, specially prepared for this occasion, right in the middle of the vineyards which give birth, among others, to our awarded Castillo de Molina Sauvignon Blanc Elqui.
A notable representative of this white variety, that has attained the most important prizes at international wine competitions since it was launched the year 2006, such as the Regional Trophy for the best Sauvignon Blanc under £10 awarded by the contest of the renowned English magazine Decanter.
Besides this wine, Miller had the chance to taste our wines 1865 Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc steming from Leyda Valley, the new launching of this line, 1865 Limited Edition 2006, also Cabo de Hornos 2006 –released just a week ago to the market–, its next harvest 2007, and the innovative developments the winery is carrying out in this interesting valley, about which you will be hearing news pretty soon …
