The grape
Where it's from
Maule Valley
Chile
One of Chile's oldest and largest wine areas, south of Curicó. Long overlooked, it is now prized for old, dry-farmed bush vines of Carignan and País, which make vibrant, characterful reds. Cabernet and Merlot are widely planted too. A region rediscovering its heritage.
