The Central Valley extends from Chacabuco Province in Metropolitan Santiago to Cauquenes and Linares in Maule. Its legal subregions are Maipo, Rapel, Curicó and Maule; Rapel contains the Cachapoal and Colchagua zones. A label may say Valle Central or name a more specific origin within it. More than half of Maipo's 11,000 hectares are planted to Cabernet Sauvignon. Cachapoal and Colchagua grow Cabernet, Carménère, Syrah and Malbec and are associated with full-bodied reds. Carignan and Cabernet Sauvignon are grown in Curicó and Maule. Wine production in Maule dates to the Spanish conquest period, while the French grape Carménère has become established in Chile's central valleys.
