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: Chaptalization
The addition of sugar at the time of fermentation of the must, an ancient practice, but theorized by Jean-Antoine Chaptal at the dawn of the 19th century. The sugar is transformed into alcohol and allows the natural degree of the wine to be raised in a weak or cold year, or - more questionably - when the winegrower has a harvest that is too large to obtain good maturity.
