Wines of Chile
The Richness of the Wine Island
"An untamed territory shaped by the purity of the Andean glaciers and the salty breeze of the Pacific Ocean."
A Natural Sanctuary for the Vine
Chile is the only country in the world that has remained free of phylloxera, a condition strictly supervised by the Agricultural and Livestock Service (SAG). This allows its vines to grow on ungrafted rootstock, preserving the original DNA of the European grape varieties brought in the 19th century.
From the cool breezes of the Humboldt Current on the coast to the intense solar radiation of the Andes, Chilean viticulture is now classified under the innovative zoning of Wines of Chile: Coast, Between Mountains, and Andes, delivering wines of technical elegance that dominate global rankings.
