Chile

What it is

The lost grape found: Chilean wine — Carmenère (the Bordeaux grape lost to phylloxera, rediscovered in Chile in 1994 hiding among Merlot), plus País (the mission grape), Casablanca whites and Colchagua reds — from one of the world's great wine countries. Origins: vines came with the Spanish in the 1500s; Chile's phylloxera-free valleys preserved old varieties; the 1994 Carmenère identification is wine's famous detective story. Made from: Carmenère, Cabernet, País, Sauvignon Blanc and more, from Elqui to Bío Bío. How it's made: 1) Grow in the Mediterranean valleys between Andes and ocean. 2) Ferment and age by style. 3) Serve with the asados and seafood of both Chile's worlds. Served: everywhere; wine routes run through Maipo and Colchagua. Flavor: Carmenère = plum, paprika spice, silk. Strength: 12.5-14%. Culture: wine is Chile's ambassador; Carmenère is its plot twist. See also: Chilean Pisco.
