The 400 kilometre-long valley (also known as the Central Valley) between the Andes and the coast is Chile's main wine-growing region with around 90,000 hectares of vineyards. Table grapes are grown on a further 50,000 hectares. The region is divided from north to south into the four areas of Maipo; Rapel (with sub-areas Cachapoal and Colchagua); Curicó (with sub-areas Teno and Lontué) and Maule (with sub-areas Claro, Loncomilla and Tutuvén).

I have great respect for the scope and quality of the wein.plus encyclopaedia. It is a unique place to go for crisp, sound information on terms from the world of wine.
