Discover the grape variety: Cornalin du Valais
Very old vine cultivated in the Swiss Valais, resulting from a natural crossing between the petit rouge(*) and the mayolet. It is the father of red humagne, also called cornalin d'Aoste, the grandfather of durize or petit rouge du Valais or rouge de Fully and a relative of goron. - Synonymy: old red of Valais, red of the country in Switzerland, landroter (for all the synonyms of the grape varieties, click here!). - Description: medium-sized bunches, cylindrical, winged, compact, strong medium-sized peduncles with little lignification; medium-sized berries, spherical or short elliptical, skin of a beautiful bluish black colour with a lot of bloom. The foliage turns completely red in the fall. - Production potential: early budding in the year. Capricious and difficult variety. Particularly likes the limestone soils of well exposed hillsides that warm up quickly enough, lean and well drained. Semi-erect bearing, vigorous with irregular production. Resists well to winter frosts. Susceptible to the main diseases, especially to oidium and grey rot. Also susceptible to magnesium deficiency and stalk dehydration. Maturity: 3rd early season

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. The Warm, Dry region makes a wide range of wine styles, ranging from everyday wines to some of Chile's most expensive and prestigious offerings. Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Carmenère are the most important grape varieties planted here.
The wine region of Central Valley
The Central Valley (El Valle Central) of Chile is one of the most important wine-producing areas in South America in terms of Volume. It is also one of the largest wine regions, stretching from the Maipo Valley (just south of Santiago) to the southern end of the Maule Valley. This is a distance of almost 250 miles (400km) and covers a number of Climate types. The Central Valley wine region is easily (and often) confused with the geological Central Valley, which runs north–south for more than 620 miles (1000km) between the Pacific Coastal Ranges and the lower Andes.
The word of the wine: Old vines
There are no specific regulations governing the term "vieilles vignes". After 20 to 25 years, the yields stabilize and tend to decrease, the vines are deeply rooted, and the grapes that come from them give richer, more concentrated, more sappy wines, expressing with more nuance the characteristics of their terroir. It is possible to find plots of vines that claim to be a century old.
