As a new world wine region, with 2,700 miles of coastline along the frigid Pacific Ocean, Chile produces wines that are both fruit-forward factor and herbaceous. One might even compare the style to something similar to French wine! The topography is very favorable to viticulture, and despite the fact that Chile is only 160 kilometers (100 miles) wide, most climatic variation in the wine-growing regions happens from east to west, rather than from north to south.
Key grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Carménère, Syrah, Pinot Noir
