Q

Explain what “Costa”, “Entre Cordilleras”, and “Andes” refer to on a Chilean wine label.

A

In 2012, the Chilean Ministry of Agriculture amended wine law to support three new geographic terms: Costa, Entre Cordilleras, and Andes. On labels, producers may now append pre-existing DOs with one of these three new designations, which signify the proximity of a vineyard to the coast (Costa) or to the mountains (Andes). Entre Cordilleras (“between mountains”) describes the valley areas between the coastal range and the Andes. In order to qualify, 85% of the grapes must be harvested from the appropriate region.
