This is the idea of ​​Ian Hutcheon, wine makers as well as astronomers. He combines both expertise and create the world’s first meteorite wine named ‘Meteorito’.

The material he learned from his own vineyards in Cachapoal Valley, Chile, in 2010. Wine is then fermented for 25 days before undergoing a process of malolactic fermentation for a year. This is where the meteorite 4.5 billion years old entered. After a wine, Cabernet Sauvignon is mixed into it.

The meteorite is borrowed from an American collector. Object space is said to originate from asteroids located between Mars and Jupiter. About 6,000 years ago, a meteorite of this size is 3 inches fell in the Atacama Desert, northern Chile.

To The Drinks Business, Ian tells the unique idea of ​​making the red wine. “I want to give chance to everyone to come in contact with outer space objects. When you drink this wine, you drink the elements that have been around since the birth of the solar system, “said Ian.

Ian produces 10.000 liters of wine a meteorite. Unfortunately, this wine is only available at his observatory, the Centro Astronomico Tagua Tagua. Nevertheless, he plans to export a rare blend of wine.

Meteorito not the only alcoholic beverage relating to outer space. In 2008, a beer company launched a beer that can be enjoyed safely by the astronauts. Earlier, Japan’s Sapporo Brewery beer has also been made ​​with ingredients grown in space.

But price sometimes became problem, why not try fine wine with lesser price? Its Chile winery. Lapostolle is wine example from Chile, cheap that doesn’t come bad quality.

Specifically in Chile, these two factor are comes in cheap, which made the production cost lesser and of course its free from filoxera that often struck winery farm. Filoxera is some disease that could made crop failure.

Another advantages that have by Chile is the location that crossing with drastic temperature changes. In the East Andes mountain, while in the west Pacific ocean. In the north crossing with sand dessert, and south with cold glacier.

For the curious, you can try a white wine with the kind of wine Lapostolle Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. Sauvignon Blanc had a sense that little “smoky” and fruity which come from the wine aging process.
