This vast region offers a diverse range of wine styles and qualities, shaped by its many distinct terroirs. From the fashionable, high-end Bordeaux-style wines of northern Maipo to the historic vineyards of Maule, and from the coastal plains of western Colchagua to the Andean foothills of Puente Alto, the variety is impressive.

However, with experimentation on the rise in today's wine world, it's the newer, cooler-climate areas that are capturing the most attention. The focus is increasingly on the Andean foothills and river valleys, where the cooling influence of the Pacific Ocean plays a key role in shaping the wines.
