The Aconcagua Region in Chile, named after the towering Aconcagua Mountain, is a prominent wine-producing area known for its diverse terroirs and high-quality wines. This region, located north of Santiago, benefits from a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and cool nights, ideal for viticulture. The Aconcagua Valley and the Aconcagua Costa sub-regions offer distinct wine profiles due to their varied climates and soils.
The Aconcagua Valley is renowned for its robust red wines, particularly Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, which showcase rich, concentrated flavours and excellent structure. Meanwhile, the Aconcagua Costa, closer to the Pacific Ocean, excels in producing elegant, cool-climate wines like Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, characterized by vibrant acidity and complex aromas.
