The wine region of Cachapoal Valley
Chilean Rapel sub-valley, Mediterranean terroir sheltered from the Pacific: signature Carmenere as king red — balanced between ripe cherry, plum and its signature green/spicy pepper, round tannins, preserved structure (Peumo the star sub-zone). Elegant Cabernet Sauvignon on the Andean foothills of Alto Cachapoal (600-900 m): blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, racy acidity. Syrah and Merlot as complement. Gravelly soils east, fertile silt west, hot sheltered climate.
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: R-M (champagne)
Harvesting and handling. It is the artisan winemaker. He elaborates his own champagne, often a monocru representative of the village or the surrounding villages.
