The wine region of Rapel Valley

Rapel Valley is a large wine-producing region in Chile's Central Valley. Made up of the Colchagua and Cachapoal valleys, the area produces roughly a quarter of all Chilean wine.

Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Carmenère are the most important grape varieties planted here.
