This valley has always had a true agricultural calling. It is land blessed to produce red grapes. Warm and naturally dry but with an abundance of water supplied by the Tinguiririca and Colchagua river; it is a narrow agricultural valley that starts at the foot of the Andes and extends in a westerly direction to the Pacific Ocean. In between, you can find numerous microclimates and types of soil, uneven slopes, ideal for plantations and a number of growing vineyards, to make excellent Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah and very good Carmenere and Malbec.

At the end of 1996 the first wine route was created in the Colchagua Valley with the aim of promoting through tourism this ‘Guarantee of Origin’ as a production area of fine wines.
