The elaboration of the red wines of the Denomination of Origin (D.O.) Valle Central follows a careful and modern process. After the manual or mechanized harvest, the red grapes, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Carménère and Syrah, are meticulously selected to ensure the quality of the must. Then, the grapes are destemmed and crushed to obtain the juice and skins, which are essential for the extraction of color, aromas, and tannins during fermentation. Maceration is an essential stage, allowing the must and the skins to come into contact to obtain the desired intensity in the wine.
Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks, where yeasts convert sugar into alcohol and the characteristic aromas and flavors of the wine are produced. After fermentation, some red wines may undergo an aging process in oak barrels, which adds complexity and smoothness to the tannins. Finally, the wine is bottled and can continue to mature before being marketed and enjoyed.
The result is a wide variety of red wines from D.O. Central Valley, each with its own characteristics and expressions, reflecting the diversity and quality of this important Chilean wine region.

Its spicy character and soft tannins also make it an excellent companion for mature cheeses and sausages. In addition, the red wines of D.O.
