The #WorldWineTravel crew is exploring South American wines in 2023. So far, we’ve celebrated the Foods And Wines of Chile, looked Beyond Malbec from Mendoza(Argentina), Wines of Uruguay, and Organic Wines of Chile.

This month, we’ll be exploring Chilean Coastal wines from Chile’s Coastal (a.k.a. “Costa”) regions. Note that Costa is not a delimited geographical DO; but flexible designations, based on ever-changing data. For this event we’ll focus on wines from westerly appellations including Limari, Casablanca, San Antonio, Colchagua, Itata and Bio Bio.

The aforementioned regions are situated close to, or influenced by the Pacific Ocean along Chile’s western coast. The Pacific Ocean’s cold waters generate fog, cloud cover and cooling breezes moderates temperatures in these regions.
