MORE TO KNOW:
​

• Today, approximately 70% of Chilean wine is exported
• Chile’s most important red wine variety by far is Cabernet Sauvignon, which accounts for more than a third of all vines planted. 
• Chile’s red wines used to be plagued by unripe, green flavors. Today, improved vineyard practices are providing riper fruit that produce more exuberant wines. 
• Chile is no longer just a producer of value-focused wine, today’s producers are quality-focused, and are developing strong commitments to organic and biodynamic agriculture. Move toward exploring unique landscapes for viticulture and abandoned old vine plantings.
