The vineyards in Chile spread over 180, 000 ha & lie at the border of the Pacific Ocean on the West & the Andes on the East. A new era of continous improvement started in 1850 when famous French wine makers realised the region's great potential & came over with their skills & vinification techniques. Chilean wine has become increasingly popular since the seventies & has clearly tickled our taste buds! The vineyards enjoyed another wave of investment & improvement techniques in the 1990s, which has allowed Chilean wine to compete on the international scene. Chilean wine is definitely worth a try, even for those who belong to the Old World school of thought! We are sure that it is only the beginning of the success story & that a lot of new exciting & fascinating wines are waiting just around the corner! & another thing... Chilean vineyards are the only ones in the world that have not been touched by phylloxera, a bug that damaged European & American vineyards in the 1900s. Some of the vines are 140 years old & are able to produce very rich, complex & well-structured wines.
