Valley Information: Colchagua is the southernmost portion of the Rapel Valley; generally, it is the region that has garnered the top scores and press for its powerful yet balanced red wines. The majority of the wineries are concentrated in the center of the valley (Entre Cordillera), although the pioneers are looking towards the Andes (e.g. Los Lingues) and at the coastal areas (e.g. Paredones) to find new cool-climate terroir.
