CHILE

There are two key geographical features that define the wines of Chile - the Andes mountain range, the longest continental mountain range in the world, and the Pacific Ocean, the largest and deepest ocean in the world.

These features influence soil, temperature, altitude, wind, mist and rainfall thus ensuring that Chile is extremely multifaceted in terms of which grapes can grow successfully.

Because of this terroir diversity, there are well defined wine growing regions within the country that excel in growing specific grapes. Chile therefore is successfully making a wide array of wines that are typically pure, fruit driven examples of all the international classic grape varieties.

Everything from Sauvignon Blanc to Pinot Noir offering great value every day drinking wines to multi-layered, stylish, world beating quality, cult status wines are available from Chile.
