Maipo Valley, Chile
PengWine wines are estate produced in the beautiful Maipo Valley, renowned for its red wines which are intense and complex with well structured tannins. Grapes are handpicked at the peak of their ripeness, during cool, late, Chilean summer evenings. They are then aged in the finest oak barrels available, which makes for complex and rich flavours that tickle the palate of even the most discriminating wine lover.
Chile is home to a wide variety of penguins, and to toast these land and sea-loving birds, each PengWine varietal is named after a different penguin native to this region.
