The grapes come from a single vineyard in Entre Cordilleras in the Curico Valley, from ungrafted selected clones of pre-phylloxera French rootstock. Situated on the 35th parallel south, between the Andes Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, the intense sunshine is tempered by cooling sea breezes, allowing the grapes to achieve outstanding fruit aromas and exceptional colour concentration. The warm dry days and cold nights encourage a long growing season, ideally suited to produce healthy vines and grapes. 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. Grapes are cultivated using specific pruning methods, irrigation, canopy management and harvesting, which results in grapes of optimum quality and flavour. The fertile soils are alluvial, with clay loam and stone at 80cm.
