Description
Here we have Australia's now classic blend of Shiraz and Cabernet adopted by Chile ... and to great affect. Tenca Tree is in fact the work of an outstanding cellar in Colchagua, the southernmost valley of Rapel. So environmentally friendly is this winery, that when unwanted insects arrive, the resident flock of geese are penned into the affected area of the vineyard to gobble up the intruders. All the employees on the estate are also issued with a bike to get to and from work and about the many rows of vines! The multi award-winning Adolfo Hurtado is chief winemaker at the property, but Tenca Tree is in fact the work of Matias Rios, who graduated in 1999 from agricultural college, then gained experience at Viñas Carmen and Pedro, before joining the Cono Sur team.

The wine is named after the Tenca, the national bird of Chile, a Chilean version of the mockingbird, which sits in the quillay trees that line the vineyards and sings to the workers. Tenca Tree is made predominantly from Shiraz, the most exciting red grape in Chile right now and Master of Wine Tim Atkin's top grape of Chile. In the temperate vineyards, it achieves delicious ripeness and depth. A little Cabernet Sauvignon adds cassis and gentle tannins.
