Day 13 maipo valley vineyard trip

Found an all day trip to the maipo valley vineyards, well you can't come to Chile and not sample the wines can you 🤪
First stop, la Quirinca vineyard, it's a tiny boutique vineyard and the visit included tour of the vines and production area followed by feeding the animals then a tasting , the guide was absolutely brilliant 2 glasses of wine and some pisco.
Next came Santa Ema, a massive place opened in 1956. 3 glasses here Chardonnay very nice merlot, mellow & light. Carmenere (amplus) very nice more fruity. 2021 a good year 🤪

Break for lunch at zin fandel, chose Ravioli made with squid black ink and sweet crab filling in a buttery sauce with a sangria
On to last vineyard Undurraga we had 4 wines to taste here, I thought the second site was massive but this one was enormous with fantastic grounds with some really old trees.
I think I fell lucky with this trip, started at 8am and didn't get back to the city until gone 6 😎
There was a guy from the first vineyard who came with us, he kept taking video clips and photos, apparently he was making a promotional video for the tour, he's promised photos and video so let's see what comes about.Read more
