I know there is a famous Chardonnay in Chile. Besides, what other famous wines are there in Chile?

The grades from low to high are:

Variety wine (the most basic wine)

RESERVA (collector's grade, wine has been stored in oak barrels)

GRAN RESERVA (the best collection, with more oak barrels, longer storage time and higher quality)

RESERVA DE FAMILIA (family collection, meaning the best wine. )

The characteristic grape is CARMENERE: Carmen was brought to Chile from France and Germany with other grape varieties in the middle of19th century. Due to the invasion and genetic problems of nodule aphid in the world, this excellent wine grape variety gradually disappeared around the world and only remained in the wine-making area of Chile.

The famous places of origin are as follows:

Aconcagua Valley (Aconcagua Valley)

This mountain in the valley near Argentina is also one of the highest in Chile, reaching 6958 meters. The climate here is quite stable, with plenty of sunshine and no risk of freezing injury. This is also a good natural condition for brewing high-quality wine. A man named MAXIMIANO ERRAZURIZ first discovered this valley. 1870 red wine varieties are planted here, and Cabernet Sauvignon was planted in 2003. The planting area is about 1025 hectares, and the ratio of red to white is 87/ 13.

Casablanca velli

In recent years, this region has produced many excellent wines, and it is also the only region in Chile that grows more white grapes than red grapes. Most high-quality Chilean white wines come from this region, especially Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. Very fresh lemon fragrance is their typical feature. This production area is located in Santiago and Valparaiso, the main port city of Chile, which is also a famous tourist attraction.

The natural feature of this producing area is low temperature. During the plant growth period, the average temperature here will not exceed 20 degrees, and the temperature difference between morning and evening will reach 19 degrees. This climate is very suitable for growing white grapes and pinot noir. The annual rainfall is 542 mm. * * * The vineyard is about 3693 hectares, and the ratio of red to white is 32/68.

San Antonio valley

This is a relatively small production area, and this name is also the name of the port city. It's near the sea. 1998 A winery named Leda was established here, and then other wineries followed suit. The climate here is characterized by low temperature, which can make the grapes mature slowly. White grapes and black Pi Nuo are very suitable here. * * * The vineyard is about 289 hectares, and the ratio of red to white is 40/60.

Maibo valley

This is the oldest grape growing area in Chile. Grape cultivation began in the19th century, and there are famous wineries in China, such as CONCHA Y TORO, TARAPACA, COUSINO MACUL and SANTA RITA. This is a horizontal valley extending from the Andes to the Pacific Ocean, with an elevation of 65,438+0,000m in the east and 500m in the west. Natural slopes make different varieties grow in different areas. Vineyards in the foothills of the Andes are the best places to produce Cabernet Sauvignon in Chile.

It has a mild Mediterranean climate, which is dry in summer and autumn, and there is no risk of rain in the harvest season. During the grape growing period, the temperature difference between day and night reaches 20 degrees, which is an ideal grape growing place. Grape planting area is about 1046 1 hectare, and the ratio of red to white is 84/ 16. This is the statistical data of the previous two years, and it is estimated that it has expanded a lot now.

Cachapol valley

The vineyards in this valley are one of the best grape growing areas in the Andes, and they have good conditions to grow red grape varieties, because the topography of this valley gives good climatic conditions, such as hot areas like Las Cabras and Pemo, where the best Chilean Kamana can be found.

It sometimes rains here in spring, but there is no danger of freezing. The temperature in summer is moderate and the grapes ripen slowly, so the Cabernet Sauvignon planted here can get round tannins and mellow wine quality. * * * The vineyard is about 9377 hectares, and the ratio of red to white is 87/ 13.

Corchagua valley

It is also a traditional and important wine producing area, equivalent to Napa in the United States. Suitable for planting different grape varieties. There are many famous wineries in this area, such as CASA LAPOSTOLLE, MONTES, LOS VASCOS and so on.

The central town in this area is called Santa Cruz. In the center of this town, there are museums and hotels named after it, which represent the local history and the history of wine. Most wineries are not far from this town, especially red grapes. Recently, this place is becoming a tourist attraction for wine. In san fernando, another town in the region, the climate is slightly cooler than Santa Cruz, where high-quality black Pi Nuo is produced, and several wineries place special emphasis on ecological vineyards. The planting area here is about 2 1084 hectares. The ratio of red to white is 90/ 10.

Curico valley

Curico means "black water" in the local Mapuche language and is an important agricultural center in Chile. It consists of three landforms: the Andes, the central plain and the coastal mountains. Vineyards are concentrated on the slopes of the central plains and coastal mountainous areas. The climate in this area is humid Mediterranean, influenced by Pacific anticyclone, with thin dancing in the morning, high temperature in the day and cool at night, and the temperature difference between day and night reaches 15 degrees. The acidity of white grapes here is good, especially Sauvignon Blanc. A warm valley like London produces high quality Cabernet Sauvignon. Especially some old vineyards and some 80-year-old trees. The planting area is about 18422 hectares, and the ratio of red to white is 69/3 1.

Moore valley

This is the largest planting area in Chile, currently reaching 28,456 hectares. This longitudinal valley is vast and hilly, protected by coastal mountains, and the eastern edge is the Andes. The humid Mediterranean climate brings a lot of rainfall in winter, with an average annual rainfall of 730mm. Winter is followed by a long summer with drought, abundant sunshine and high temperature, with an annual average temperature of 14 degrees. 1 month the highest temperature reaches 32 degrees, and the temperature difference between day and night reaches 15-.

The diverse climate and soil here have specially brought different styles of wine. In recent years, many high-quality wines have been brewed here, especially Cabernet Sauvignon and Kamanna, due to new brewing technology and expert intervention in winery management. The ratio of red grapes to white grapes here is 83/ 17.

As for the main brewing technology you asked, I think you probably want to ask about the brewing technology of New World wine.

The brewing process of new world wine is called winemaking.

The modern new world brewing method can be said to be consumer-oriented. In order to meet the needs of consumers, it is necessary to achieve this requirement through various modern scientific and technological means, such as screening fermentation strains to bring different flavors to wine, enhancing the ester flavor of wine by low-temperature fermentation, reverse osmosis concentration, freezing extraction and so on. Many of them add artificial compounds, such as oak chips, oak essence or glycerin, to save complicated and trivial oak barrel culture time and increase the taste of wine. The main purpose of these advanced brewing methods is to brew wine suitable for drinking.
