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: Ugni blanc
White grape variety of Italian origin, and the main white variety grown in France. Its large bunches give fine, light and lively wines, suitable for distillation: today it is the main variety for making cognac and armagnac. Ugni blanc, which is a little richer in alcohol when grown in Mediterranean regions, is used in the blending of the Provence and Corsica appellations, often in association with other grape varieties that bring aromas and structure, such as clairette, grenache blanc or sauvignon. Ugni blanc is also used, on a secondary basis, in the production of certain white wines in Gironde (AOC Bordeaux, Entre-deux-Mers, etc.).
