The Chilean wines of Palena
Although Chile has been a leader in winemaking for decades, it is still considered a New World grape. It was the Spanish who introduced viticulture. Interestingly enough, Chilean winemakers eventually adopted the French style. This is particularly evident in the grape varieties they cultivate. Alongside classics like Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chardonnay, it is Carmenere in particular that has become the national grape of Chilean vineyards.
The wines of Palena from Chile
The Palena winery takes its name from a beautiful natural phenomenon in the south of this elongated country, where several rivers form magnificent lakes. This area is called Palena. Palena wanted to make its wines as beautiful as this area is. However, the winery is located a few hundred kilometers further north, in the heart of Chilean viticulture.
The vineyards of Palena
Palena is one of the major players in the Chilean wine world. As a result, it has a vast acreage of vineyards at its disposal. Because each Chilean wine region has its own unique strengths and climate, Palena grows its grapes in various areas. The fresh Casablanca Valley, thanks to the ocean; Maipo in the north near Santiago; Maule further south, where the climate is milder; or the expansive plains of Colchagua. All these top regions specialize in a specific type of grape.
