Chile's Central Valley runs from Chacabuco Province in Metropolitan Santiago to Cauquenes and Linares in Maule. Its legal subregions are Maipo, Rapel, Curicó and Maule, while Rapel contains the Cachapoal and Colchagua zones.
Valle Central on a label covers a large area with substantial variation in style and quality. A named subregion and grape give a clearer starting point. More than half of Maipo's 11,000 hectares are planted to Cabernet Sauvignon. Cachapoal and Colchagua are associated with Cabernet, Carménère, Syrah and Malbec, and with robust red wines.
Curicó and Maule are associated with Carignan and Cabernet Sauvignon. Wine production in Maule dates to the Spanish conquest period. Carménère, the French vine once thought extinct, was revived in Chile's central valleys.
