Region: Casablanca Valley
Situated in the Central Valley of Chile, the Casablanca Valley is a relatively young wine region that has quickly become one of the country's most important wine-producing areas.
The Casablanca Valley was first planted with vines in the late 1980s, making it one of the youngest wine regions in Chile. The region was initially planted with Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay, but in recent years, winemakers have begun to experiment with other varieties such as Pinot Noir, Syrah, and Carmenere. The region has quickly become known for its high-quality wines, and it is now one of the most important wine-producing areas in Chile.CUSTOMER RATING
