Annual Wines of Chile Awards recognize the best wines of Chile

The blind tastings took place between November 25 and 27. Chile has a 40% market share in the Brazilian market, which currently ranks fourth in bottled wine exports to our country. Claudio Cilveti, General Manager of Wines of Chile, "It is the first time we do the Annual Tasting outside Chile, and we chose Brazil because it is a strategic market for our wines. It has been a very interesting experience, where the jurors have privileged the varietal typicity and representativeness of the Chilean origin.

Viña Casas del Bosque, Gran Reserva Syrah 2012, won the "Best in Show" award, which recognizes the best wine of the competition, which this time included more than 640 wines from 92 new and traditional Chilean wineries from all the country's wine valleys. Viña Concha y Toro, Amelia, Chardonnay 2013, and Viña De Martino, Armida, Carmenère 2009 were awarded as the best in the "Premium White" and "Premium Red" categories, respectively.
