The wine region of Peumo
Chilean DO in the Valle del Cachapoal (1994, narrow undulating corridor toward the Pacific, fertile well-draining loamy soils, warm climate with nights moderated by the Cachapoal river): Carmenère is the signature king red of Chile — full-bodied and concentrated with ripe sweet red berries, high alcohol, silky tannins, ages 15 years. Merlot, Malbec and Syrah as powerful red complements; an iconic zone for Chilean Carmenère.
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: Ancestral method
A method of making certain sparkling wines such as blanquette de Limoux, sparkling gaillac or clairette de Die, which consists of a second fermentation in the bottle based on natural sugars and yeasts naturally brought by the grapes (unlike the méthode champenoise, which requires the addition of tirage liquor).
