Chillin' with Chilean Wines

Chile has been making wine for centuries—ever since grapes landed here in the 1500s, the country has been a key player in South America’s wine scene. By the 1800s, adventurous growers were importing vines from France and beyond, and by the 1980s, with perfect climates and modern techniques, Chile was ready to take on the world.

Today, Chile is home to some seriously interesting wines—from its signature Carmenere (practically a treasure since it’s nearly gone in Bordeaux) to crowd-pleasers like Sauvignon Blanc and Syrah. So grab a glass, relax, and explore the regions and flavors that make Chilean wine something you’ll want on your table.
