ADVERTISING: Advertorial — Discovering Chile: A wine lover's paradise
Laura Olson
As I delve deeper into my wine studies, I find myself constantly amazed by the diversity and quality of wines from around the world. This week, I'd like to take you on a journey through one of the most exciting wine regions I've been exploring in my master's program: Chile.
Chile's winemaking history dates back to the 16th century when Spanish conquistadors and missionaries brought vines to the region. However, it wasn't until the 19th century that Chile's wine industry truly began to flourish. European immigrants, particularly from France, introduced noble grape varieties and modern winemaking techniques, laying the foundation for what would become one of the New World's most prominent wine-producing countries.
One of the most fascinating aspects of Chilean wine is how the country's unique geography shapes its viticulture. Stretching over 2,600 miles from north to south, Chile boasts an incredible diversity of climates and terroirs.
