Details
This Syrah opens with a wildly seductive nose of blackberry, black cherry, caramel, cream, and an unmistakable 'blackberry ice cream' vibe, backed with subtle spice and cedar. On the palate it’s rich and velvety, with silky tannins, generous fruit, and beautifully integrated French oak. There’s a plush sweetness to the texture (not sugar, just ripe fruit and sweet oak spices) and a long, creamy finish that lingers well after the last sip. It's bold, polished, and super easy to love.

Valle Secreto is the vision of two families who set out to create wines of exceptional character in one of Chile’s most privileged landscapes. Founded in 2007 in the Alto Cachapoal Valley, just south of Santiago, the boutique winery combines a respect for nature’s generosity with an unwavering focus on quality - from vineyard to glass. Here, modern facilities blend with the romance of history, and the kindness of the climate allows the vines to express the purity and depth of their origin. Each bottle captures the soul of the Andes, where altitude, sunlight, and cool mountain air shape wines of elegance, balance, and unmistakable identity. Innovative yet grounded in tradition, Valle Secreto unites viticulture and tourism to create a complete sensory experience. Led by the Puntí Ferrer and Berndt Cramer families, and later joined by American partner Richard Samale, the project reflects a shared dream - to craft distinctive wines that embody the spirit of the valley. Today, Valle Secreto stands as one of Chile’s most exciting boutique producers, celebrated for its authenticity, its harmony with nature, and its ability to reveal the quiet magic of Cachapoal in every glass.

Pairing guide
This Syrah is crying out for big, flavour-packed food. Go classic with grilled ribeye, lamb chops with rosemary and garlic, or slow-braised beef short ribs. Feeling adventurous? Try duck breast with blackberry and star anise, or smoked sausages with creamy polenta. For a killer vegan option, pair it with roasted aubergine steaks glazed in miso and maple, wild mushroom bourguignon, or black lentils with caramelised onions and smoked paprika - the wine’s creamy oak and dark fruit play beautifully with umami-rich dishes.
