Chile's most historic and prestigious wine region, the Maipo Valley extends from the foothills of the Andes near Santiago down to the Pacific. Its identity is Cabernet Sauvignon — particularly from the gravelly, alluvial Alto Maipo at the Andean foothills, where altitude and stony soils produce structured, mineral, ageworthy reds with hallmark hints of eucalyptus and mint. Carmenère, Chile's signature variety, also performs strongly. Iconic estates such as Almaviva, Concha y Toro's Don Melchor and Santa Rita Casa Real have made Maipo the country's serious-wine reference.
