Region:


Cachapoal Valley

Tucked into the northern reaches of the broader Rapel Valley, this region is defined by the dramatic shadows of the Andes Mountains. Protected from coastal breezes by the Coastal Range, the valley floor enjoys a warm, Mediterranean climate that provides the perfect sanctuary for late-ripening reds. It is here that Carménère reaches its full potential, producing wines of remarkable plushness and spice. This sun-drenched environment allows the fruit to develop its signature blackberry depth and toasty warmth, gaining international acclaim for an elegant, high-toned structure that reflects the cooling breath of the mountains.
