About this wine
Made from Riesling grapes naturally affected by noble botrytis (roughly 60% of the fruit), hand-harvested in autumn from a single vineyard. Golden yellow in color, with aromas of acacia honey, lemon peel, quince jam, mandarin rind and crème brûlée. On the palate, ripe apricot, honey and toasted almond notes are balanced by around 330 g/L of residual sugar and Riesling's naturally bright acidity, giving the wine excellent structure and length. Awarded Gold and Trophy (95 points) by the International Wine Challenge.

Casa del Bosque Gran Reserva Pinot Noir
RedPinot Noir
Produced in the cool-climate Casablanca Valley, this Gran Reserva Pinot Noir is a hallmark of Casa del Bosque's mastery of coastal viticulture. It displays a bright ruby color and a complex nose of fresh red berries — strawberry, raspberry, and red cherry — layered with earthy undertones, fine herbs, and subtle spice from oak aging. On the palate, it offers a medium body with elegant, silky tannins, vibrant acidity characteristic of the Casablanca terroir, and a clean, persistent finish. Consistently earning 89–91 points from major critics (James Suckling, Decanter), it is a benchmark expression of Chilean cool-climate Pinot Noir.

Reserva Sauvignon Blanc
WhiteSauvignon Blanc
Sourced from the Las Dichas block at the cool, foggy westernmost end of the Casablanca Valley, this Sauvignon Blanc blends three clones (66% Clone 1, 19% Clone 242, 15% Clone 107) from vines 7-16 years old, grown on clay loam (73%) and sandy-clay (27%) soils. Aromas of citrus, boxwood and white flowers meet Casablanca's signature jalapeño note, with passion fruit, grapefruit, melon, black tea and anise on a dry, crisp, high-acid palate.

Sourced from 11-16 year old vines on north-facing hillside blocks planted on 110-million-year-old decomposed granite topped with iron-rich red clay. Hand-harvested grapes undergo whole-cluster then individual berry selection, followed by cold soak and a 7-day maceration in small stainless steel tanks. Deep ruby-purple in color, with intense blackberry, blueberry and black pepper aromas layered with violet, black olive and smoked bacon.

La Trampa
RedSyrah · Malbec · Pinot Noir
Casas del Bosque's cool-climate icon red, named for a parcel where two hills converge to trap coastal mist, creating a warmer microclimate ideal for ripening red varieties within the cool Casablanca Valley. The 2022 blend is 60% Syrah, 35% Malbec, and 5% Pinot Noir, fermented with selected yeasts in truncated cone-shaped concrete tanks, with the Syrah portion given an additional 15-day post-fermentation maceration. Deep violet in color, with blackberry, black olive and pepper from the Syrah meeting floral and red-fruit notes from the Malbec and Pinot Noir.
