About Peumo

Where it grows

Along the lower Cachapoal River near the Coastal Range; the wine area includes Peumo and neighbouring defined communes.

Peumo’s warm, moderated vineyard setting and moisture-retentive clay-rich soils suit late-ripening Carménère in selected sites. The origin is more specific than Cachapoal or Rapel. Producers make both varietal wines and Carménère-led blends, so supporting Cabernet grapes may also appear. Ripe herbal and peppery notes are part of the grape’s expressive range, without requiring every Peumo wine to taste identical.
