Wine grapes (Vitis vinifera) are not native to the Americas; they arrived with the Spanish in the 1500s. Early attempts to form vineyards in more northerly climes, such as the Caribbean, Mexico, and Peru proved unsuccessful; in Chile, however, the vine found its first true New World home. The Catholic missionaries who followed the Spanish Conquistadors lamented the lack of wine that was essential for celebrating religious rites, and they set about to resolve the problem. Fray Francisco de Carabantes is widely credited with bringing the first vines probably Pais (pronounced " pah-EES" and known as "Mission" in California) into Chile through the port of Concepcion around 1548. Such was the success that vineyards were quickly planted throughout the country from the Limari Valley in the north to Bio-Bio Valley in the south precisely the areas that still delimit the vast majority of Chile's wine production today.
