Chile’s unique combination of geography and climate make it ideal for wine growing. Chile’s geographic barriers - the Atacama Desert to the north, the Andes Mountains to the east, the Patagonian ice fields to the south, and the Pacific Ocean to the west - make Chile a veritable agricultural island. Together they help maintain healthy conditions and protect vineyards against pests and disease. With such diverse geography you can be sure the climate will have vast variation. The combination of beneficial natural barriers and a benevolent Mediterranean climate make sustainability and organics a logical choice in Chilean winegrowing.
