ARTISAN FINDS IN CHILE

Adventurous importers Lucy Kendall and Alice L’Estrange of Cultivar Fine Wines have travelled through the old wine-growing corners of Chile and brought back treasure: aromatic whites and fresh reds, rustic and honest, produced on a tiny scale and, until recently, destined for local consumption. The star style is pipeño, a light, highly quaffable red made from the old país grape, grown in 250-year-old vineyards and fermented in large barrels made from local raulí, a native Chilean beech. cultivarwines.com.au>
