Chilean wines are notoriously less popular in the two largest markets, the United States and the United Kingdom, but the country's red wines are booming in third-place Japan, where exports grew by nearly 18 percent in 2014.
The reason is that the combination of red wine and salmon creates a delicious taste on the tip of the tongue. Chilean red wine has a strong fruity and spicy taste, while the fresh salmon meat is very tender, firm, elastic, when the two are matched, the rich fruit aroma of red wine will further refine and sublimate the deliciousness of the salmon, eat in the mouth feel very fat and satisfied.
Chile is an internationally recognized producer of fine wines, growing european and excellent national wines for export in the various river valleys around Santiago and the Andes Mountains (see wine regions). Traditional país grapes are only used to produce simple table wines. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Carmena are the most important red grape varieties. Cabernet Sauvignon wines, in particular, have attracted international attention.
Chile is also the only country that grows Carmena grapes. Since the Carmena grape was brought from Bordeaux to Chile in the 19th century, it has thrived in Chile, but in Europe it has been wiped out by the phylloxera epidemic. Carmena red wines are characterized by a full body, a deep red body, a juicy and smooth taste, a silky texture of tannins, and a soft entrance, which is deeply loved by the public.
Chile is rich in fine wines, thanks to the local climate and topography. Chile has a special Mediterranean climate, with hot and dry summers that meet the climate needed for grape growth. In addition, due to the influence of the terrain, Chile has a large temperature difference between day and night, and the daytime temperature climbs straight to 32 degrees, and the warmer temperature is conducive to the accumulation of sugar.
The cold air brought near the Andes at night can help the grapes maintain aroma, freshness and acidity. The temperature of the hot and cold poles forms a diurnal temperature difference, so that the grape fruit reaches a more balanced state of ripening. In addition to its climatic and geographical advantages, its soil is dry, sunny and irrigated by meltwater from the ice and snow of the Andes, providing ideal conditions for growing healthy vines.
The Japan-Chile Economic Partnership Agreement, adopted in 2007, proved to be a turning point for wine. Obviously, if Chilean fish is enough to make sushi, then their wine must also be the best choice to accompany sushi.
