The wine region of Colchagua Valley
Chilean powerhouse of bold reds: signature Carménère as red king — opulent and velvety with notes of ripe plum, blackberry, grilled pepper, smoked paprika and a chocolate-spice touch, coated tannins and bursting fruit. Structured Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, cedar, eucalyptus) is the star complement. Fleshy Syrah, supple Merlot and dense Malbec in reds. DO sub-valley of the Rapel south of Santiago, Mediterranean climate between Andes and Pacific.
The wine region of Central Valley
Heart of modern Chilean wine: structured, sunny reds, dense, blackcurranty Cabernet Sauvignon from Maipo (Chilean cradle of the grape), signature Carménère with notes of ripe pepper, black fruit and sweet spices from Colchagua, supple Merlot and deep Syrah. Round Chardonnay whites and lively, sharp Sauvignon. Mediterranean climate, 400 km between Andes and Pacific. Star sub-regions: Maipo, Cachapoal, Colchagua, Curicó, Maule.
The word of the wine: Tanin
A natural compound contained in the skin of the grape, the seed or the woody part of the bunch, the stalk. The maceration of red wines allows the extraction of tannins, which give the texture, the solidity and also the mellowness when the tannins are "ripe". The winemaker seeks above all to extract the tannins from the skin, the ripest and most noble. The tannins of the seed or stalk, which are "greener", especially in average years, give the wine hardness and astringency. The wines of Bordeaux (based on Cabernet and Merlot) are full of tannins, those of Burgundy much less so, with Pinot Noir containing little.
