Cachapoal

The Valle de Cachapoal (Cachapoal Valley) wine-growing area is located 90 kilometres south of the Chilean capital Santiago de Chile in the Valle Central. Together with the Colchagua area to the south, it forms the northern half of the Rapel region (Valle del Rapel). The "Alto Cachapoal" wine route runs through the area crossed by the river of the same name. The climate is Mediterranean, with hot summers with large temperature fluctuations between day and night and mild winters. There are different microclimates depending on the proximity to the Pacific or the Andes. The vineyards cover around 15,000 hectares on mineral-rich soils with sandy layers and, in places, limestone and scree.
