The 2007 Riesling Dona Isodora offers a lovely floral, mineral, apple blossom, and white peach bouquet leading to a dry wine with fennel, apple, and lemon zest making an appearance on the palate. The wine has good balance and a medium-long finish. Drink it over the next 1-2 years. Cousino-Macul was one of the first wineries from Chile to make a breakthrough into the American market primarily due to the hard work of importer Alfredo Bartholomaus. The quality of the wines has been consistently good but recent improvements in the vineyards and winery have taken quality up to another level.Importer: Billington Wines, Springfield, VA; tel.

A full-bodied, Southern Hemisphere style of Riesling with a touch of petrol on the nose but mostly bigger tropical aromas. The palate is loaded with ripe grapefruit, citrus pith and good acidity. Heavy yet balanced for a warm-climate Riesling, with a long finish of citrus.——M.S.(11/15/2007)—— 86

The Germanic, tangy mineral aromas of the 2002 Riesling Dona Isidora lead to a zesty core of floral and gravel-like flavors. An exceptional value, it is light to medium-bodied, reveals excellent richness as well as depth, and has a broad, flavorful, well-focused character. According to importer Alfredo Bartholomaus, there are 22,000 to 25,000 cases of this dry, satin-textured beauty produced. In addition, he claims it is the only Chilean wine made from 100% Riesling. It should be consumed over the next 2-3 years. Importer: Billington Distributors, Inc., Springfield, VA; tel. (703) 455-4700
