More than 100 photographs taken by well-known wine industry photographer Sara Matthews have been collected in this beautiful new book. Matthews creates striking images that emphasize the play of shape, color, light and shadow, and captures the unique diversity and spectacular beauty of Chile's vineyards and wineries.

Through the book I hope the reader can see Chile's beauty and understand how Chilean wineries produce wines of such great character, explains Sara Matthews. Chile is unique because of its geography, its culture and its people. I have tried to portray this uniqueness through my photographs, with each chapter showing a different aspect of each wine region. Some chapters, such as The Flow, are more conceptual, embracing mountain streams and flowing wine. Other chapters show the majesty of the mountains or the teams of people who create Chile's fine, distinctive wines.

Sara Matthews has specialized in wine photography for editorial and corporate clients since 1986 and has photographed in the U.S., France, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Cyprus and Argentina as well as Chile.
