Cono Sur Vineyards & Winery was founded in 1993, with the vision of producing premium, expressive and innovative wines that convey the spirit of the New World. The name refers to the company’s geographic position, representing wines proudly made in South America’s Southern Cone, on whose western edge lies Chile and its gifted wine valleys.
Single Vineyard wines should be of exceptional quality in which each variety comes from a specific block of grape vines with singular characteristics.
Cono Sur Single Vineyard Block 23 Riesling 2012 is selected for its extreme southern origins and cold climate, the Rulos del Alto Block is part of the Quitralmán Estate and contains the oldest vines planted in the Bío-Bío Valley. Experiencing some of the lowest average temperatures during grape ripening, along with its red clay soil, add to this Riesling´s freshness and impressive minerality.
THE LOOK
Wine is bright yellow but not golden as in the picture. Flash light changed the color a little bit.
THE NOSE
Fruits and acids, elegant bouquet. Riesling should be like this wine.
THE TASTE
Crisp and fruity, apricot and lime. Slightly petro-flavored with some minerals. Nice and balanced taste.

Wine is suitable for aperitif and paired extremely well with whitefish, which was prepared with asian style. Means that is suits with spicy food but also with white fishes and meats.
Would definitely purchase again because the price of this wine is not bad at all compared to value for money.
OVERALL GRADE: 4/5 – BANG FOR THE BUCK +++ / +++
