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: Pigeage
Operation consisting of a vertical treading to push the cap of marc into the wine, which promotes extraction. Pigeage can be carried out mechanically with jacks that plunge into the vat. Traditionally, it is the men who go down into the vats and push the cap by trampling it.
