Chile's main wine producing areas stretch through the narrow central valleys from north of Santiago to Concepcion in the south. In general, Chile's vineyards are planted on flat, fertile land often irrigated using melt water from the Andes. Chile has long been a source of large volumes of cheap varietal wines, which although well made, have been rather dull. However recently an increasing number of boutique wine producers have been emerged, making exciting wines of great character, which we are delighted to list.
