Chile is South America's leading fine-wine country, a narrow strip between the Andes and the Pacific whose icon reds now stand alongside the classics of the wine world. WineFortune tracks 7 wines here from 5 producers across 2 regions — the Central Valley and Aconcagua — with 4 wines in the price index and 9 available in the shop.
Every wine tracked is a still red under Chile's DO designation. Cabernet Sauvignon leads, often joined by Carmenère, the country's signature grape, with Merlot and Syrah in supporting roles. A Mediterranean climate, cooled by Andean meltwater and Pacific breezes, gives ripe fruit with fresh acidity and firm structure.
The WineFortune index median for Chile stands at €137 per 75 cl bottle, built from WineFortune's own trades and listings over 90 days. At the top sits Errazuriz's Vinedo Chadwick from the Maipo Valley at a median of €253.33, followed by Almaviva at €174, Sena at €100 and Clos Apalta at €81.84. Critics have filed 13 reviews with an average of 94.4 on the 100-point scale and a top score of 97; the median drinking window runs from 2023 to 2036.
