I don’t have a lot of background on Peñalolen to share. The winery was founded by Ricardo and Isabel Peña, who brought in Jean-Pascal Lacaze as their winemaker. Peñalolén also happens to be the name of a community at the eastern edge of Santiago, right up against the Andean foothills. This is part of the Maipo Valley and while the Peñalolen winery also produces a Sauvignon Blanc with grapes from Casablanca Valley, the grapes in this Cabernet Sauvignon are from Maipo.
Maipo may be Chile’s best known wine region, probably due to the fact that Santiago resides within this region and most large Chilean producers started in Maipo. It’s also the only official Chilean winemaking region without a coastline. Most wine produced from Maipo is red and the region is best known for its Cabernet. So, let’s find out how this one holds up.
