Maule Wines
"Maule’s southern position is responsible for many of the differences between this region and the Central Valley of Chile. The nights are colder, rainfall more consistent, yet the days are still very bright and sunny. These conditions make room for a long, steady growing season, resulting in wonderfully balanced flavor profiles of the grapes, leaving them ripe and juicy with perfect acidity levels. Previously only recognized as the producer of Pais, Maule has adopted some international wines in the recent past, helping rebuild its reputation.Carmenere and Cabernet Sauvignon can now easily be found here. The lovely Carignan vines typical for this region resist the modern tendencies of their motherland. These wines showcase gentle earthy spirit with remarkable depth and bulks of plums and blackberry in each sip. Compared to its more famous Chilean counterparts, Maule still has a long way to go. Still, fame isn’t everything. While the world is busy focusing elsewhere, this enticing region builds its portfolio rapidly, as if awakened from a long period of winter. It’s one of those rare places that have retained character, withstanding the pressure to conform. This resilient yet soft spirit certainly shows in Maule’s wines, waiting to be discovered and treasured for what they’re worth. "
