Viña Chocalan

Viña Chocalan operates in Maipo Valley, the Central Valley's premier region for structured reds. The winery focuses on Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Carménère—grapes that thrive in Maipo's warm days and cooling Pacific influence. The Seleccion Syrah and Carménère both achieve 87.5 average prestige ratings from Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, and Decanter. The Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon, rated 86.8, rounds out a portfolio anchored in the valley's signature dark-fruit intensity and mineral backbone. Maipo's terroir—alluvial soils and diurnal temperature swings—suits these varieties well, yielding wines with the ripeness and tannin definition the region is known for.
