Chile's Pinot Noir characteristics analysed

The fifth annual Pinot Noir evening organized by the Casablanca Valley Association was held in Santiago last month (September).
The tasting of Pinot Noir, a variety that has found its ideal conditions in Casablanca where 710 hectares - half of Chile’s total plantations are concentrated, was accompanied by an analysis from the Catholic University’s Aroma Center.
The analysis identified the characteristics of the variety specific to Casablanca, such as aromas of strawberries, prune, and oak, and compared it to Pinots from Leyda, which are sweeter, and from Bío Bío, which are more floral. The study allows other comparative advantages in positioning Pinot Noir from Casablanca in the different markets as it shows their affinity with consumer preferences.
The Casablanca Vitivinicultural Association also chose this event as the moment to introduce its new corporate image, which includes the silhouette of the Andes Mountains, the Coastal Mountains, and the Central Valley along with the slogan ‘Premium Cool Valley’ as a reflection of the region’s characteristic climate and its influence on the high quality and broad range of varieties produced here.

New varietal from Redwood Creek

Californian wine brand, Redwood Creek has added a new line to its UK portfolio with the launch of a Pinot Noir.

Aimed at the impulse and multiple grocer sectors, the new varietal is made using fruit from the Lodi, Delta and San Joaquin Valley regions. It has a smooth, medium-bodied finish with notes of cherries and raspberry and a hint of spice giving it texture, fullness and length.

The brand was launched into the UK market in 2009 and specifically targets the male wine drinker. By promoting a more adventurous lifestyle, Redwood Creek aims to reach this affluent audience, which is often overlooked by mainstream brands.

The brand is also continuing its partnership with the UK's Woodland Trust by donating 25p from every promotional bottle sold to the conservation charity.

Chilean producer Viña Ventisquero has expanded its eco-friendly Yali range with the addition of a Viognier. The Yali National Reserve Viognier 2010 has already achieved a listing in Majestic at RRP £7.99 from October.

“Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc are well established Chilean varietals but the country has much more to offer and we are diversifying our white wine offering to reflect this,” says sales director Américo Hernández. “We are producing excellent wines with concentrated fruit flavours and vibrant mineral notes from this grape.”

In just 12 years, Viña Ventisquero has cultivated prime vineyard sites throughout Chile’s most recognised grape growing regions: the coastal Maipo, Leyda, Rapel, Casablanca and Apalta Valleys, together with Peralillo and coastal Lolol in Colchagua.

Alain Grignon launches Les Crouzes Rosé

Languedoc-based LGI-Alain Grignon Wines has released a rosé addition to its Les Crouzes brand. The new wine joins the original Vielles Vignes Carignan red, launched last year, and both are exclusive to the Co-op at RRP £4.99.

Grapes for Les Crouzes Vielles Vignes Cinsault Rosé 2009 are sourced from vineyards on the chalk and clay soils between Béziers and Carcassonne. ‘Les Crouzes’ is the local term for the little caves and creeks dotted throughout the area.

“Cinsault, like Carignan, is seen as an old and ‘traditional’ varietal in the Languedoc, and tends only to be used in blends these days,” comments UK Manager Peter Crameri. “We have long-standing relationships with growers producing stunning examples of both grapes and Les Crouzes was created to showcase them as stand-alone, single varietal wines.”

Cienna Rosso sparkling wine launched by Brown Brothers

On the nose, the Cienna Rosso emanates fresh raspberries and strawberries, along with a distinct leafy note which hints at the Cabernet parentage. It has a creamy palate with plenty of natural acidity and juicy flavours.

Cienna Rosso is available from September in Australia and Makro stores thoughout the UK (£8.99).

English sparkling wines judged as the best in the world

Camel Valley Vineyard in Cornwall, England has left Champagne on the sidelines by scooping a top prize: the World Sparkling Rosé Trophy in the International Wine Challenge (IWC).

The winning wine, Camel Valey 2008 Pinot Noir Rosé Brut (£24.95), reached the final trophy tasting by winning a Gold medal in this year’s IWC. It then had to face a further tasting by an elite panel of judges, and overcame competition from Gold medal winners from the same category and from different countries, such as 1999 Charles Heidsieck Rosé Champagne (listed at £45.99), to scoop the crown.

The same wine was also awarded the England Trophy for Camel Valley, who win this for the second successive year.

Winemaker Sam Lindo: "Winning the England Trophy for a second successive year was almost too much to hope for but I never in my wildest dreams expected to win the International Trophy too!’

Meanwhile, at another wine challenge, the Decanter World Wine Awards, another English wine – Ridgeview’s Grosvenor Blanc de Blancs 2006 – has triumphed over prestigious Champagnes to win the trophy for the best sparkling wine in the world.

Investing in wine ...
Can there be a better tax shelter?

Imagine an investment that has increased in value by 1+% monthly since the mid-1950s and on which tax free returns might be enjoyed with careful planning. Imagine also that there may be inheritance tax benefits and, if the investment proves financially disappointing, it can always be consumed with pleasure and a capital loss possibly claimed! All of these promotional points appear on the websites of wine brokers – but how far can the promises be sustained and what problems may arise in practice?

Wine in PET found to deteriorate after six months

Wine packaged in single and multi-layer PET bottles and BiB starts to oxidise within six months according to a new study by the Institute of Vine and Wine Sciences (ISVV) in Bordeaux. The one-year storage tests on red and white Bordeaux wines in non-glass formats found that the flavour and chemical composition of white wine changed within six months, however red wine was more stable.
The levels of oxygen, carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide were tested at regular intervals, as well as the taste and colour intensity of the wines. The ISVV plans to continue testing into a second year.
ISVV lecturer Rémy Ghidossi said, "A lot of contradictory information has been circulating in recent months regarding different packaging solutions suitable for wines.
"It is now necessary to establish the truth, based on scientific information and quantitative data, to determine the legitimacy of each package, as its main function is to preserve the flavour and characteristics of its content."
The study was sponsored by the glass industry.
