Phases in Chile’s dynamic wine industry

Chile has a long history in winemaking and in wine exporting. Although wine has been
made in Chile since the sixteenth century it was not until the 1850s that a new breed of
Chilean landowners, who had developed fortunes in the mining sector, started ti import
quality French wines. When French wine production was severely hit by the phylloxera
aphid in the last third of the nineteenth century, quality Chilean wine came to be exported
in significant quantities to France and other European markets. Many of the Bordeaux
varieties came to be introduced into Chile - Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot
and Carmenère. Vineyard concentration occurred within the fertile central valley
stretching south from Maipo to the Maule valley.
