Maule Valley?is the largest wine-producing region in Chile other than the?Central Valley, of which it is a part. It has 75,000 acres (30,000ha) under vine, and has traditionally been associated with quantity rather than quality. But this is rapidly changing ? the bulk-producing?Pais?vine is gradually being replaced with more international varieties such as?Cabernet Sauvignon?and?Carmen?re, and careful winemaking practices are being employed to make some world-class red wines from?old-vine?Carignan.
Pais Viejo (?Old Pais?) is a wine with history. Made with Pais grapes from over 100-year-old Gobelet vines planted in the dry-farmed, coastal region of Maule. These head-trained Pais vines are planted on very old soil of granitic, sandy loam formed by Chile?s coastal mountains. Pais Viejo is 100% naturally-vinified using century-old winemaking techniques, including the use of the zaranda (a structure made of sticks to destem the grape clusters). The grapes are hand harvested and fermented with native yeasts in concrete tanks to preserve the wine?s authentic expression of terroir.
