Loncomilla Valley

A sub-region of a sub-region, the Loncomilla Valley DO is nested inside Chile's famous Maule Valley within its large Central Valley region. This small winegrowing area is home to a diverse mix of red and white grape varieties, with a primary focus on Bordeaux-style blends that feature Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Located about 50 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean, this region enjoys wet winters and long summers filled with warm days and chilly evenings. This long growing season also makes it an excellent source of Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay, in addition to local favorites Carménère and Carignan. Chile’s Denomination of Origin (DO) classification system focuses on separating wines by the physical location of origin. To use the DO classification on a label, a producer must have pulled 85% of the fruit used in a wine from a defined regional location. The DO system names wine regions in the country from north to south.
