]]> You know a country has a serious wine scene when Sideways writer Rex Pickett chooses it as the setting for his next book. This is the case with Chile, where a wave of innovative viniculture is spreading across the various micro-climates of its central region.  While Chile already has a well-established wine industry that dates back to the mid-16th century, a booming economy and ever-rising international interest has created the demand for new trends such as boutique vineyards and organic and biodynamic growing methods, along with greater access to cutting-edge technology and a growing respect for the concept of “terroir.”

From the Elqui Valley in the north, where wine makers have recently begun to sprout up among the multitude of pisco producers, to the sophisticated cabernet sauvignon, pinot noir and cold-climate syrah coming out of the Casablanca Valley to the complex, award-winning reds from the renowned Colchagua Valley, Chile is fast becoming one of the most exciting wine producers in the world. To shop a selection of premium Chilean wines in the United States, check out www.purowine.com. For those considering a visit to Chilean wine country, Santiago Adventures offers a range of personalized wine tours including their “Bikes, Wine, and Patagonia” tour, a 2013 winner of National Geographic’s Traveler’s “50 Tours of a Lifetime.” Also, Rex Pickett’s blog entries from his stay in Chile are well worth a read for any wine lover: rexinchile.com/
