CHILE


A WINEMAKER'S PARADISE

Natural conditions in Chile are perfect for growing grapes: 
  • Constant water supply from the melted snow of the Andes
  • Lack of vine pests and diseases
  • Ocean currents from Antarctica bring cool air to the vineyards
  • Dependably warm and dry summers
Did you 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.
Casa Silva - Colchagua
  • One of the elite producers of Carmenere Sustainability and energy efficiency certifications
