Wines of Chile continue the legacy of Spanish wine culture in the 'New World.' The rugged and wild landscapes, with the currents of the Pacific on one side and the Andean slopes on the other, allow excellent climatic conditions for the cultivation of varieties brought from the Old World: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, or Chardonnay, all of which prosper with indigenous grapes like Carménère.
