Maule Valley
Located about 250 km south of Santiago in the valley between the coastal mountains and Andes, the Maule Valley was one of the first areas in Chile where vines were planted, and its viticulture history stretches back to the start of colonization. For many years, the region was known more for quantity rather than the quality, similar to the Central Valley of California. But in recent years it has attracted renewed attention. Since the mid-1990s, new technologies have been introduced, allowing the region to improve the quality of its wines.
Maule was where Merlot was originally determined to be Carmenere, and those who did not rip out their vines now enjoy some of the oldest Carmenere vines in Chile. More recently, some of the region’s winemakers have “rediscovered” the old vineyards of Carignan and Cinsault, which are grown on very old (more than 50 years old) vines.

Terranoble Carmenere Reserva Especial 2022
Terranoble is considered one of Chile’s true ambassadors for the Carmenere varietal. This is a very complex Carmenere for the price, with a rich and balanced combination of fruit and oak. On the nose, red berries, black berries, plums, paprika, smoke and toasted aromas come through. Juicy on the palate, with cherry and chocolate notes in combination with toasted oak. This wine is well structured and full-bodied with smooth tannins and a long finish.
