Chile Wines of the Year 2024

Wine Blast with Susie and Peter

It's a biggie. Our Chile Wines of the Year 2024 - a celebration and exploration of this slender South American nation's wines. And what's coming up may surprise you. So if you think you know Chilean wine - be prepared to think again.
We discuss vineyards planted before the French revolution, sensational value Pinot Noir (the holy grail!), flor-aged Semillon, a Pinot Gris inspired by the great orange wines of Friuli, wines you 'eat' rather than drink and old-vine País made, 'as if it were the finest Pinot Noir from Burgundy'.
We hear from Chilean wine luminaries including Felipe Marin, Ricardo Baettig, Ana María Cumsille, François Massoc, Eduardo Chadwick, Matías Ríos and Edgard Carter. (Told you it was big.) There's plenty of opinion, insight, top tips. Even the odd 'light-house wine' and inflection point.
Oh, and we also blow our own trumpets a bit after this podcast WON THE 67 PALL MALL GLOBAL WINE COMMUNICATOR AWARD!!
In case you're wondering, in this programme we also explain what this Chile Wines of the Year thing is. Essentially, we've chosen just over 100 wines to showcase just how diverse, delicious, fun, funky and fine modern Chilean wine is. We've also selected a few brilliant producers and wines for top awards.
This episode is produced in association with Wines of Chile. Please do also check out the accompanying Chile Wines of the Year 2024 report, packed full of information, opinion, ratings and top tips, which is free to download from our website via this link: Show notes for Wine Blast S6 E1 - Chile Wines of the Year 2024
