Chile Wine Regions
Chile has a long history of wine making, going back to the conquistadores who brought grape vines with them in the mid 16th Century and planted vineyards. In the mid 18th century, French varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot were introduced. Chilean wines have proven to be among the best in the world and has attracted many foreign partners and investors including Robert Mondavi of California (Caliterra), The Rothschilds of Bordeaux’s Château Lafite (Los Vacos) and Miguel Torres of Spain (Torres).
