America Chile
With a hot,
dry desert hugging its northern border, and the freezing Antartic
just off the southern tip, the heart of 2,700 mile-long Chile
is virtually bug free, and an isolated haven for ideal wine growing.
While the
natural advantages have always existed within Chile, the economic
and political ones did not until the late 1980's - when the wine
industry was allowed to fully bloom. Since then, grape and wine
production have skyrocketed producing some of the finest, most
affordable wines in all of South America.
Today, wine
tours and travel within Chile is also booming. The most famous
Chilean wine valleys include
Maipo, Casablanca, Cachapoal, Colchagua, Maule and Elqui....
