The Wines of Chile
Chile’s wine regions are known for their quality and value.
The Maipo Valley is renowned for Cabernet Sauvignon, offering blackcurrant, cherry, and herbal notes. Casablanca Valley excels with cool-climate varieties like Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay, the former with citrus and green pepper characteristics, and the latter with tropical fruit and balanced acidity. The Colchagua Valley is celebrated for its Carmenere, producing wines with dark fruit, spice, and smooth tannins.
Chile’s diverse climate allows for a wide range of wine styles, from robust reds to fresh whites.
