Chilean wine regions

Chile's wine regions are diverse areas, each contributing unique flavors and characteristics to their wines. Notable regions include the Central Valley, the most prominent, subdivided into Maipo (famous for Cabernet Sauvignon), Colchagua (known for reds like Carmenère), and Casablanca (specializing in white varieties like Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc). The north features the Atacama Desert's Valle de Huasco, challenging vineyard cultivation but producing distinct wines. The south, including Los Lagos and Patagonia, offers cooler climates ideal for aromatic whites and sparkling wines. Overall, Chile’s varied terroirs—from coastal valleys to inland deserts—create a range of high-quality wines with distinct regional identities.
