A long, thin vineyard between the Andes and the Pacific — reliable, great-value wines.
Chile's vineyards stretch over 1,000 km, isolated by desert, mountains and ocean — which kept phylloxera away. Cold Humboldt Current fog cools the coast while the Andes cool the east, so today Chilean regions are often described as coastal, central or Andes.
