Chilean Wine: Bold Cabernet, Carmenère & Bordeaux Blends

Chile's Great Wine Regions

The Maipo Valley, just south of Santiago, is the historic heart of Chilean Cabernet, producing structured, age worthy reds often compared to fine Bordeaux.

To the north, the warm Aconcagua Valley is home to some of Chile's most celebrated reds, powerful yet refined.

Cooler, coastal Casablanca is prized for its crisp, aromatic whites, cooled by morning fog rolling in off the Pacific.

Iconic Chilean Wine Styles

Chilean red wine is the star, led by rich, structured Cabernet Sauvignon and classic Bordeaux blends with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.

These are bold, full bodied reds with dark fruit, spice and firm structure, made to enjoy now or cellar for years.

On the white side, cool climate Sauvignon Blanc brings zesty, refreshing balance to the range.

How to Serve Chilean Wine

Serve bold Chilean reds at around 16 to 18 degrees, giving the biggest bottles time to breathe in a decanter. Crisp Sauvignon Blanc shines well chilled, around 8 degrees.

Food Pairing Ideas

Chilean Cabernet and Bordeaux blends are made for the grill, a dream with steak, lamb and rich, smoky dishes.

Fresh Sauvignon Blanc loves seafood, salads and fresh herbs.

What Is Carmenère?

Carmenère is Chile's signature grape, and one of wine's great survival stories. Once a star of Bordeaux, it all but vanished there, only to be rediscovered thriving in Chile, long mistaken for Merlot.

Today it is the country's proud own. It makes deep, plush reds with blackberry and plum, a savoury note of spice and pepper, and soft, rounded tannins.

If you love a bold, smooth, characterful red, Chilean Carmenère is a must try.
