Summary: Monkey Puzzle is also known as the Araucaria Araucana. It happens to be Chile’s national tree. I learned something new today.
I also re-learned that its great to take a chance on unknown Chilean wines priced under $10. Like this bottle which I had never heard of. Its bottled by Vicar S.A and imported by G&G Co. out of Calabasas, California. The grapes are harvested from the Maule Valley in Chile. Wine is rated at 13% alcohol level.

This is the only wine that I have enjoyed more than any other. Was able to purchase it at Asda stores in uk a few years ago. Now not available is it possible to order and have this wine delivered to my address in the uk?.
