One of my favourite features of 2025, included in our September issue, collected contributions from our South America experts on their favourite ‘hidden jewels’.
Their input – kaleidoscopic and heartfelt – revealed unexpected and lesser-known wines, places and people. It offered colourful snapshots of South America as a source not just of outstanding wines, but also of creative energy and positive entrepreneurial spirit.
