Chile’s oldest wine region, the Maipo Valley spans from the majestic Andes Mountains to the Pacific Ocean. The valley’s low annual rainfall, high temperatures and stony ground may sound inhospitable, but these conditions make the region perfect for growing so-called “noble” wine grapes. As a result, some of Chile’s finest Cabernet Sauvignon is produced in the Maipo Valley. And because of its dramatic variations in elevation, the valley is known for producing wines with unique characteristics and subtle variations.
