Synopsis

Chile has been producing excellent wines for five centuries, but it wasn’t until the 1980s that they became widely available around the world. In the first book to focus exclusively on Chilean wines, award-winning writer Peter Richards outlines the fascinating history of Chile’s wine industry and explores its wide range of wine styles and wine-making techniques. With the help of ten detailed maps, he takes the reader on a tour of the country’s diverse terrains and major wine-making areas—including Maipo, Casablanca, Cachapoal, Colchagua, Maule and Elqui—and provides an extended listing of leading producers and their best wines.
