Wine from Chile

Chilean wines - at the height

Wine has been produced here since 1551, ever since the Spanish discovered South America for themselves. But the full-bodied, powerful red wines and elegantly refreshing white wines, which win prizes and awards worldwide, are a product of modern times. But what could wine from Chile be but top notch? Warm days, crisp nights, ideal soils for vines and unfavorable climates for pests, enhanced with French influences and icy glacial waters of the Andes - concentrated flavor, bottle after bottle from Chilean winemaking.

Netflix and Chile Wine

The high elevations, the cool ocean breezes, the unique climatic conditions - all shape and drive Chilean wine. Lush wines made from the noble grape varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Sauvignon blanc, Syrah and the secret star Carmèrère experience the optimal conditions in Chile to fully mature and score with concentrated freshness. In addition, the vines in Chile are protected from phylloxera, which has not yet made its way into the long country. Thus, there are still numerous rootless vines, which were in high demand after the phylloxera catastrophe in Europe. Re-imported vines from Chile sometimes formed the basis for modern European viticulture after the phylloxera caused devastating damage. Nevertheless, out of an abundance of caution, new vines in Chile are grafted to be phylloxera resistant.

Chilean wine taste

The isolated location also results in an incomparable character for top Chilean wines. A velvety cloth envelops the red wines, a floral one the whites. Often very high in alcohol, the wines from Chile express themselves mostly dry and semi-dry. The chalky clay soils and cutter earth provide Chilean wine with minerality, while the highly fluctuating climate between day and night concentrates the country's aromas. Best conditions for grapes, but most of them are used for the production of Pisco, Chile's national drink.

Wine growing regions of Chile

Coquimbo

The region of Coquimbo in the hot north of Chile is known for heavy red and white wines, which enjoy perfect conditions in the valleys between the Atacama Desert and the Pacific Ocean. Despite the low-rainfall climate, the vines do not have to do without water. Through targeted irrigation of the very fertile soil, the valleys are very productive growing areas for Chardonnay and Sauvignon blanc, which display an unexpected freshness.

Valle Central

The Valle Central is home to a multitude of renowned wine-growing regions from Chile. First and foremost, the Valle del Maipo around the capital Santiago de Chile is responsible for the rise of Chilean viticulture. As the oldest cultivation area for Chilean wine, the winegrowers shine with many years of experience in dealing with the mineral soils and create fruity and soft wines. The vineyards here reach up to 1000 meters above sea level and are lined with Chile's most cultivated variety - the Cabernet Sauvignon. The rest is made up of predominantly red grape varieties such as Merlot, Carménère, Syrah and Malbec as well as a few white varieties such as Chardonnay, Semillón and Sauvignon blanc. Wines from the Valle Central are characterized by a noble structure and fresh acidity and are often lush in character - probably influences of the French winemakers who explored new terroir in Chile in the mid-19th century.

Aconcagua

The Aconcagua wine region is named after the highest mountain in the snow-capped Andes. Meltwater feeds the rivers that meander through the region. Favoured by two openings in the Cordillera de la Costa, the mountain range along the Chilean coast, the vineyards are relieved of the hot climate by cool sea air. This provides ideal conditions for viticulture, which winemakers reward by producing the best Chilean red wines. Since large investments by foreign wine giants, the Valle de Aconcagua has also experienced an upswing that has made the wines from Chile known to wine experts as well.

The Chilean wine law

A quality system does not exist in Chile, only a regulation for designations of origin exists. Denominación de Origen, short D.O. serves for the exact indication of the source of the wine and guarantees to be pressed from one of the 23 permitted sorts for quality wine. Accordingly, at least 85% of the wine must be vinified from the specified grape. The same applies to the vintage and the origin. This means that 25% of the wine may come from a different vintage and 25% of the wine from a different origin. The addition of sugar to increase the alcohol content is also forbidden, although the addition of acid is permitted.

Limited Selection Cabernet Sauvignon Carmenère - Montes

The winemakers combine the strengths of Cabernet Sauvignon and Carménère in a full-bodied wine that delights the senses with ripe aromas of blackberry, cherry and elderberry. The pleasure experience is complemented with notes of tobacco, coffee, vanilla and butter caramel. This harmonious interplay makes this cuvée the ideal companion to hearty meat dishes and spicy stews.

Chilean red wine and its grape varieties

The Carménère is one of the highest-yielding Chilean red wine varieties. Originally, this red grape variety comes from a well-known French wine-growing region. However, it fell victim to a nasty phylloxera plague and thus almost became extinct. It's a good thing that the Carménère has found the optimal conditions to thrive in Chile's wine-growing regions. Thus, enjoyable Chilean red wines can be pressed from this important red grape variety for viticulture.

Other popular Chilean red wine varieties include:

• Cabernet Sauvignon
• Merlot

• Syrah
