Chile

Chile has two major mountain ranges that greatly affect its viticulture: the coastal range and the Andes mountain range.

Chile’s vineyard elevation ranges from 400ft to 7,200ft – where some of the highest vineyards are found in the Andes Mountains of the Atacama Desert. Large diurnal temperature shifts from day-to-night greatly influence the complexity and balance of Chile’s higher-elevation viticultural regions.

Chile has been named a ‘viticultural paradise’ for its textbook mediterranean climate. Long, dry summers are perfect for the growing season, paired with its cold, rainy winters. The Humboldt Current coming up the Pacific Coast of Chile brings frigid waters from Patagonia and a cool morning fog every morning that vines love.
