Maule Valley is located in the southern area of the well-known Central Valley of Chile. This is the most extensive wine region in Chile, as well as the most traditional area, dating back to XVII century.
Soils are generally of alluvial and volcanic origin.
This is the valley with the widest diversity on weather conditions among its different areas, and this particularity added to great variety of soils, generates unique and singular spectrum of terroirs. ?As consequence most of vinification grapes and varieties could be grown here with optimum results. Rationalisation of varieties is another factor favoured from its geographical condition. It is important to point out the substantial shift of many traditional producers of bulk wines towards quality and bottle fine wines. This is primarily the result of an intense replacement of the grape variety Pais with the nobler Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot and the already well know Carmenere.
