Did you know that Chilean wines are celebrated globally, and in 2019, Chile was ranked eighth among “The World’s Largest Wine Producers” by the International Organization of Vine and Wine (OIV)?
If you haven’t explored the Chilean wine sector in your local shop or online, now is the perfect time to rectify this oversight. Often overlooked and underreported, Chile boasts a wine region that consistently produces exceptional wines deserving of wider recognition.
Ingredients for Success
Chile’s geographical and climatic conditions are exceptionally well-suited for cultivating outstanding grape varieties. Stretching over 2,600 miles from north to south and measuring just 110 miles in width, this slender country benefits from the Pacific Ocean gracing its entire western border and the majestic Andes Mountains adorning its eastern coast. This unique combination of factors results in a harmonious interplay of cool Pacific breezes and the moderating influence of the mountains, creating an idyllic environment for grape cultivation.
