Chile: my top 20

Miguel Torres, Estelado Sparkling Rosé NV, Secano Interior, Maule 90

£12.50-£14.99 Available through UK agent Fells A project that helped to kickstart the Chilean País revival. A delicious traditional-method sparkler with subtle red fruits and a lively, focused palate. Drink 2020-2023 Alc 12%

Casa Silva, Lago Ranco Sauvignon Blanc, Futrono, Austral 2017 94

£20.94 Jackson Nugent A superb wine from one of Chile’s most southerly vineyards on volcanic ash soils. The nose is citrus-led with a steely minerality. The palate has tantalising acidity and the finish is very long. Drink 2020-2024 Alc 12%

Ventisquero, Kalfu Sumpai Sauvignon Blanc, Huasco, Atacama 2017 92
