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: Bordeaux barrel
Barrels of 220 to 225 litres. The toasting of the barrel to bend the staves (curved boards used to make the barrels) can vary according to the coopers and the demand. A gentle and slow toasting has little effect on the aromas. On the other hand, a strong toasting gives aromas of coffee or cocoa which will influence the taste of the wine. A wine barrel has already been aged for a year and has less impact on the wine than a new barrel.
