The wine region of Rapel Valley
Vast central Chilean valley, ~25% of national output.

Also firm Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, eucalyptus), supple Merlot, peppery Syrah. Encompasses Cachapoal to the north (cooler, higher altitude) and Colchagua to the south (warm, fleshy stars).
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: Astringent
Said of a wine that is a bit harsh and rough on the palate. Astringency often appears in young red wines that are rich in tannins and need to be rounded out.
