Wines of Chile

Chile’s performance at last night’s Decanter World Wine Awards event was nothing short of brilliant. Not only did Chilean producers amass some 370 awards, they also brought home outstanding International and Regional awards for what Decanter’s Adam Lechmere called “some of the finest Sauvignon, Riesling, Pinot Noir and Cabernet blends in the world.”

The results emphasize once again not only Chile’s excellence in quality, but its broad diversity of varietals, regions, and price points as well.

Congratulations go out to all of the winners! The International and Regional Trophy winners are listed below.
