Strange Grapes
Alice L'Estrange is an Aussie wine importer/producer based out of Melbourne with a deep passion for the traditional wines of Chile.
Under her Strange Grapes Imports banner, she has collected a motley crew of fascinating, lo-fi new wave Chilean wines that have been great discoveries for us.
She also sources her own fruit from growers who have a sustainable approach to farming in Itata and greater Bio Bio and endeavours to bring to life authentic styles of Chilean wines that honour the culture and the heritage of the area.
If you want to check out the undercurrent of Chile, Alice's curations are a great place to start.
