Colchagua Valley

Hi,

first of all, sorry for not writing for sooo long. It has been already almost 2 years since I moved to Chile. This is a very beautifull country, with a lot of nature to be seen. Unfortunately I haven't seen half of the Chilean beauties.

Nevertheless, last holidays, 1st of may, I had one of my greatest friends Dani coming to visit me, and then I thought it was time to move my butt and get to see something new. We went to the Colchagua Valley, a valley full of great wineries, and with a lot of good wine probes too :)) We visit some spectacular wineries, like Emiliana, a branch of the famous Concha y Toro winery, which produces some great organic wines, and also Montes, which produces one of the best wines in Chile. If you are planning a visit to Chile, please consider also visiting those wineries:

Emiliana (also in the Casablanca Valley): http://www.emiliana.cl/
Montes: http://www.monteswines.com/

The Emiliana Winery has my favorite wine, the Novas Syrah-Mouvedre. Fantastic. The Montes Winery offers a trekking tour of approx. 3-4 hours, and from the top of the mountain you have a beautifull view of the whole Colchagua Valley. It is worth the effort.

Below some pictures of our trip. Enjoy it. The complete set of pictures can be found in: http://www.pixum.de/viewalbum/?id=2941575

Kisses,
