CACHAPOAL VALLEY - CHILE
ABOUT
Cachapoal Valley is a central wine zone in the northern half of the Rapel Valley. Located between the Maipo and Colchagua valleys, with the Cachapoal river flowing through its center and between the Andes and the Coastal Ranges, Cachapoal is somewhat shaded from the limelight. However, several prestigious Rapel Valley wines are blends of fruit from both Colchagua and Cachapoal vineyards, and some promising wineries are establishing in the area.
The valley is well sheltered from the cooling influences of the Pacific Ocean and enjoys a temperate Mediterranean climate. The majority of Cachapoal's noteworthy vineyards are located towards the east of the region, where Cabernet Sauvignon vines enjoy the prevailing sunlight, while closer to the coast some ocean breezes slip through and provide a mesoclimate that is excellent for the production of Carmenère.
