For the Gourmet: Hosted by Daniel Soto
Join DANIEL SOTO from Santiago, Chile’s Santa Alicia Winery on this Wine Series Voyage. Santa Alicia, located in the famous Maipo Valley, is an innovative winery utilising leading edge techniques. Methods such as microclimate research, colonial selection, extensive laboratory analysis, and controlled fermentations result in wines of exceptional purity and character. However, it is the winery's use and respect of traditional methods that elevate its wines beyond the ordinary. Handpicking early in the morning, fermentation in oak and stainless steel, and further aging in French and American oak barrels yields wines of intense character and suppleness.
