Chao Praya Delta

Thai wine region of Chao Praya Delta is a picturesque landscape where vineyards flourish amidst a network of narrow canals. Situated 60 km south of Bangkok, this sub-tropical haven boasts floating vineyards on rectangular isles, reminiscent of a mini-Venice. Farmers here laboriously tend to 56,000 rais of vineyards, battling the fertile soil during the rainy season to produce unique Thai wines.

Chao Praya Delta's winemakers predominantly utilize local grapes such as White Malaga and Red Pok Dum, distinguishing themselves from others in the region. The wines, notably under the Monsoon Valley label by Siam Winery, exhibit a distinct Thai character. Chenin Blanc, crafted in a fruity style, sometimes carries residual sugar, harmonizing beautifully with Thai cuisine. Meanwhile, Shiraz expresses a full and round profile, though not overly complex.
