Vina Echeverria´s vineyards and winery are in the Curico Valley, Chile's wine heartland. Situated on the 35th parallel south, between the towering Andes mountains and the cool Pacific Ocean, this privileged viticultural zone sits at 243 metres above sea level. With its cold nights, warm, dry days, intense sunlight, and long growing season, it is ideally suited to produce healthy vines and grapes. The cooling influence of the oceanic breeze allows the grapes to achieve outstanding fruit aromas and exceptional colour concentration. The rows are planted east-westerly to maximise the sun's exposure. Working with a model of micro viticulture, each plot of no more than half a hectare is identified according to its terroir and microclimate and planted accordingly. The vines undergo specific pruning, irrigation and canopy management, producing grapes of optimum quality and flavour. The soil is loam & clay with a well-drained, gravelly subsoil.
