It is located directly across the Andes' from one of Argentina's wine regions: Mendoza Province. Within the Central Valley there are four wine growing region subregions: the Maipo Valley, the Rapel Valley, the Curicó Valley and the Maule Valley. * The Maipo Valley is the most widely cultivated valley and is known for Cabernet Sauvignon. * The Rapel wine region in the Colchagua Province is known for its Carmenere and Cabernet. * Curicó has both red and white wine varieties planted but is most widely known for it Chardonnay. * The Maule Valley has reatained large plantings of the local ''País''; gradually it is being replaced with other red wine varieties.〔T.
