Paso Grande
Paso Grande produces wines from Chile's Central Valley, a region defined by its warm days, cool Pacific influences, and diverse soil types. The winery focuses on both classic international varieties and Carménère, the grape most associated with Chilean wine. Its Reserva Carmenère anchors the portfolio—a wine that Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast have assessed at 84.5 points on average. The Varietal Sauvignon Blanc (83.0 avg) expresses the region's capacity for crisp, mineral whites, while the Chardonnay (82.0 avg) rounds out a lineup built on straightforward varietal expression. Central Valley's continental climate and accessible terrain have made it Chile's volume heartland, yet producers here craft wines with clear identity. Paso Grande's selections reflect that balance: approachable, technically sound, and rooted in the valley's signature terroir.
