The full-bodied nature of this late harvest delight is beautifully balanced by a bright acidity, enhancing its overall freshness while lending a mouthwatering quality that keeps you coming back for more. As you savor each sip, the prominent fruit intensity unfolds, revealing layers of luscious apricot, pear, and a hint of tropical passionfruit, accompanied by a delicate sweetness that does not overshadow its refreshing character.

Maule Valley

When it comes to well-balanced reds of great value, Chile's Maule Valley is hard to beat. The southernmost part of Chile's Central Valley, Maule is a large sub-region with many microclimates and soil types. The Maule River and the nearby Pacific Ocean both greatly influence its climate. Maule was one of the first places in Chile planted with grapevines. It is famed today for its 100-year-old Carignan vines and the densely sumptuous wines they produce. More typical, however, are its powerful Cabernet Sauvignon, spicy aromatic Carménère and plush Merlot reds. For whites, check out Maule's cheery Sauvignon Blanc and rounded Chardonnay. Chile’s Denominación de Origen (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 percent 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.
