Where to Find Chile’s Best Wines


Casablanca Valley

Famous for its white wines, especially Chardonnays, which range from tropical to more mineral in quality. Veramonte is the star producer.

Colchagua Valley

A warm region that’s home to a wide range of varietals, such as Syrah and Cabernet. Star producers include Casa Lapostolle and Montes.

Limarí

Another new cool-climate region (in the mountainous north of Chile), whose promise has spurred quite a few wineries to develop vineyards in the area. Star producers include Casa Tamaya and Tabalí.

Maipo

The well-established area is particularly respected for its Cabernet-based reds. Star producers include Almaviva, Concha y Toro and Santa Rita.

San Antonio

This relatively new viticultural region seems to be good for cool-climate varietals like Pinot Noir. Star producers include Casa Marin and Matetic.
