Region:

Casablanca

Of all the wine regions in all the countries in all the world, Chile's Casablanca Valley has carved out a reputation for producing some of the finest white wines on the continent. Lying northwest of Santiago and just 18 miles from the Pacific coast, the region remains consistently cool throughout its long, sunny growing season. This helps create ideal conditions for Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc to develop their fresh aromatics and crisp, elegant complexities without becoming too lush. Indeed, Casablanca's Mediterranean-like conditions provide a marvelous setting for Riesling, Viognier and Gewürztraminer as well, making exceptional varietal wines with an Old World character.
