When it comes to South American wines, Chilean wines hold fort
as the most popular and finest of them all. The wine may be South American but whether its Chilean red wine or white wine, you'll find different varieties in international locations where fine wines are offered for sale or consumption. Wine making in Chile is no recent art, the history of wine in the country starts out as far back as the 16^th century when the Spanish arrived in the country and brought a number of Spanish grape vines with them, French grape vines were imported in the 18^th century and have since then become a prominent part of the Chilean red wine collection.

The Carbernet Sauvignon is a popular red wine variety that features in most major red wine collections of different wine making countries around the world due to the ability of the grape to grow under diverse weather conditions. Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon is a dry wine, fruity to taste with hints of oak, full bodied and deep red in colour.

Another great Chilean red wine, is the Chilean Merlot, a dry wine with hints of berries and a very vivid taste. The dryness of the wine differs from one wine maker to the next. The Merlot is grown in different wine making regions of Chile each with its own soil characteristics and growing practices something which is equally accounted for in the differences with wines produced by vintners across the country.

The subtle Chilean Cabernet Franc is a red wine variety popular with people who enjoy vegetarian meals. It has a  slight fruity taste and is also great with entrees. Another Chilean red wine enjoyed with similar meals is the Chilean Pinot Noir, whose grape is grown widely in the cooler Casablanca Valley region, a region which also grows the Chardonnay white wine grape.

The Chilean Carmernere comes from an ancient Bordeaux wine grape variety introduced to Chile centuries ago. The wine is quite popular beyond the country as one of Chile's distinct red wine varieties although those unaccustomed to discerning the finer points of this particular wine might mistake it for the more common Carbernet Sauvignon or the Merlot . Lovers of this wine often enjoy it with poultry and spicy South American cuisine. 

Some other Chilean red wine varieties which enjoy varying degrees of popularity with wine connoisseurs  internationally include  the Zinfandel, Petite Sirah,  Syrah, Sangiovese, Barbera, Malbec, and Carignan.
