Colchagua is a large and varied wine region located in the southern portion of Chile’s broader Central Valley. It spans almost the entire width of the country, but most of its vineyards are found in warmer pockets nestled against the foothills of the Cordillera and near the interior Tinguiririca River.
Growing conditions in Colchagua are ideal for the reds for which Chile is best known: Cabernet, Carmenère, Merlot, and Syrah. It is a fascinating region and one that produces great wines at phenomenal value.
