At Cono Sur, we choose to make wine the eco-friendly way. Part of this means planting wildflowers in natural corridors between our vines. These corridors encourage biodiversity which is essential for enriching our soils. It's a win-win situation, because protecting our local environment leads to healthier grapes, which leads to better tasting wine. This summer we're teaming up with Plantlife, who for over 30 years have had a single ideal: to save and celebrate wildflowers, plants and fungi. These plants are the life support for all our wildlife, but without Plantlife's help this priceless natural heritage is in danger of being lost. That's why we're donating 20p per bottle to Plantlife and giving away thousands of wildflower seed sachets, so you too can help boost biodiversity in your local area.

Wine Regional Info:
Four important geographic bodies surround the Chilean wine growing region: the Andes Mountains to the east, the Pacific Ocean to the west, the Atacama Desert to the north and ancient glaciers to the south. Other determining factors, such as abundant luminosity, significant daily temperature variation, dry weather during ripening season and fresh Andean irrigation water, contribute to the production of pure and wholesome grapes.
