This isn’t the Chile you think you know. Forget the bargain-bin Merlot. This class is a journey into the true heart of Chilean wine, where volcanic soils, coastal fogs, and ancient vines collide.
We’ll start with the regal Cabernet Sauvignons of Maipo, where Bordeaux dreams were replanted and reimagined.
