Chile's largest wine appellation and one of its most historically important, Maule Valley sits 250km south of Santiago in the Central Valley, where the highest concentration of old-vine Carmenere, Pais and Cabernet Sauvignon in Chile is found. Maule's continental climate, granitic decomposed soils and the dry-farming tradition of subsistence viticulture have preserved vineyard material of extraordinary historical significance — some Pais vines date back 250 years. A quality revolution led by natural winemakers has elevated Maule from bulk wine to one of South America's most exciting old-vine regions.
