About This Wine


Valle de Viñedo

Pinot Noir

THIS JUST IN: Our Valle de Viñedo Pinot Noir was awarded the Chilean Pinot Noir of the Year at the 2023 New York International Wine Competition!!

Our Valle de Viñedo Pinot Noir is undeniably Chilean. This wine will take your senses on a serene walk through nature, where you'll discover woodsy aromas, spice and bushels of dark berry fruit. This savory style is a trademark of Chilean wine, especially those from the Maule Valley. Here vines are rooted in stony, volcanic soils across the sun-soaked valley floor and mountain foothills. Breezes from the Pacific Ocean keep vines cool as grapes ripen into autumn. The Maule Valley is one of Chile's oldest wine regions and an excellent source of diversity thanks to its mix of microclimates. Our Pinot Noir is a unique wine to share and offers an authentic— and delicious—sampling of what this region has to offer. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.

Wine Region


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.
