Here's a new Chilean red to fill your glasses. It's made from País, a grape much loved in Chile itself that's now making an impact on the world stage. So soft, fruity and easy-going it's pure bliss to drink. You can even enjoy it lightly chilled.

But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.
The Story Behind the Bottle
Introducing a new grape, País. We think it’s Chile’s best kept secret. So bright and full of summer berry joy, it’s recently made a breakthrough internationally. This one is from elevated slopes in the Maule Valley. There clear mountain air, plentiful sunlight and vine-friendly soil make the purest, fruit-laden País fruit. Ricardo Baettig, the winemaker at the award-winning Viña Morande Pelequén winery, fermented this red in concrete ‘eggs’ – very fashionable and ideal for making fruit-driven wines like this. Light in colour and positively brimming with bright berry flavour with a hint of liquorice, it’s a red with lots of immediate appeal. Critic James Suckling even awarded it 91-points. Enjoy solo, on a picnic, with cold meats.
