The grape
Where it's from
Central Valley
Chile
Chile's vast wine heartland, stretching south from Santiago and taking in the Maipo, Rapel, Curicó and Maule valleys. Plenty of sun, reliable conditions and cooling Andean air make generous, fruit-forward Cabernet, Merlot, Carmenère and Sauvignon Blanc. Dependable, great-value wines for everyday drinking.

More from Volandas →The story behind it
The Society of Vintners Ltd is a consortium that has 26 members covering the whole of the British Isles. The majority of Society Member companies are family-owned independent enterprises whose owner-managers have decided to band together with like-minded entrepreneurs operating broadly similar companies. The objective is to obtain competitive rates for an interesting and satisfying range of wines which are offered exclusively for sale through the consortium's network. This emphasis on near-exclusivity is a major point of difference between the national operators and the independent members of the consortium.
