Austral

Journeying to Chile's southernmost wine territory leads to the captivating Austral Region. Renowned for its dramatic landscapes of towering mountains, deep fjords, and lush forests, this area presents a challenging yet enticing viticultural frontier. Characterized by cooler, more humid conditions and high rainfall, the region's shorter growing season poses a unique challenge. Nonetheless, a new generation of winemakers embraces this opportunity, crafting wines that reflect the distinct terroir.

Primarily known for Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc, the Austral Region also explores lesser-known varieties like Gewürztraminer and Riesling, showing promise in the cool climate.
