Interesting Facts About Chilean Wines
Fort Worth Restaurants - Area Restaurant
Over twenty different grape varieties are currently grown in Chile. The most heavily grown are the Pais, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Zinfandel, Pinot Noir and Petite Sirah.
Chile is rapidly gaining a worldwide reputation for their Cabernet Sauvignons, especially now that they are using oak barrels during the fermentation process.
It is also interesting to note that Chile became a world player in wines after some heavy investment in the 1990’s from world-renowned wineries like Robert Mondavi of California and the Rothchilds from France.
