Rare French white variety, formerly grown in the South-West.

The wine region of Rapel Valley
Vast central Chilean valley, ~25% of national output. Carmenère, emblem of Chile: dense reds with signature notes of blackberry, plum, green pepper, coffee, cocoa and spice, round tannins — a grape rediscovered here in 1994. 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: Performance
Quantity of grapes harvested per hectare. In AOC, the average yield is limited on the proposal of the appellation syndicate, validated by the Inao. The use of high-performance plant material (especially clones) and better control of vine diseases have increased yields. This is not without consequences on the quality of the wines (dilution) and on the state of the market (too much wine). We must not over-simplify: low yields are not synonymous with quality, and it is often in years with generous harvests that we find the greatest vintages (1982 and 1986 in Bordeaux, 1996 in Champagne, 1990 and 2005 in Burgundy...).
