Peru

Peru wine comes from one of the most historical grape-growing regions across the globe, that surprisingly remains relatively undiscovered outside of its South American locale. Although not as renowned as its Argentinian and Chilean neighbours, Peru produces delightful wines, with a wine-making tradition dating back to the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors in the 16th century.

Peru is blessed with an exceptional topography that lends itself to wine production. An array of valleys, mountains, and the staggeringly cool coastal regions provide the necessary ingredients to cultivate a diverse range of grape varietals. These unique growing conditions have given Peruvian wines their distinctive flavours, which have gained them international recognition.

Peruvian wine production is split between Vitis Vinifera varietals, such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, and the uniquely Peruvian grape – the non-vinifera Criolla or 'Pink Grape'. The latter is used to make Pisco, Peru’s iconic grape brandy, as well as some intriguing still wines.

Nonetheless, the Peruvian wine scene isn't just about traditional methods and historic grapes. Modernisation has seen an elevation in quality and styles of wines produced. Innovative Peruvian vintners are focusing on experimenting with blends and maturation techniques to concoct the perfect glass.

In recent years, Peru wine has gained numerous accolades for its quality and rich flavour profile. Boutiques around the world have also started importing these wines, making Peru a burgeoning wine destination to watch. This has further stimulated interest and appreciation in their vinicultural abilities.

Whether you're a seasoned oenophile or a casual wine drinker, Peruvian wine offers a delightful experience that’s waiting to be explored. This South American gem is not only a terrific addition to the growing global wine tapestry but an exciting representation of a culture steeped in history, creativity, and a love for good wine.
