Vineyards

There are few places in the world with the ideal conditions for producing wine as the valleys in Chile, a country which not only has exceptional climate and soils to grow the vines, but also has an extraordinary geographic configuration which naturally isolates and protects its wine producing regions on all four sides.

Apalta Valley (lat 37º36's)


The Apalta vineyards form part of the Colchagua Valley, famous for its transversal hills and for being one of the famous wine regions in Chile. It is situated 170 km. south of Santiago and has an annual rainfall of 600 mm.
This important mountain range makes this place ideal to produce unique red varieties which are noted for their special flavor and texture. The terroir allows the grapes to reach their optimum point of maturity, which results in highly concentrated wines with the desired characteristics, especially the Carmenere, Syrah and Cabernet varieties.

Bío Bío Valley (lat 37º36's)


The Bío Bío is the southernmost wine producing valley in Chile. It has unique and distinctive characteristics for vine cultivation. It is situated 500 km. south of Santiago and 50 km. from the Pacific Ocean.
It is noted for having a cold climate with moderate maximum temperatures which allow the grapes to mature slowly. It also has the perfect conditions to obtain highly aromatic berries, wich are perfectly balanced with natural acidity. These conditions allow the wines to express their unique freshness and intense fruity aromas and elegance.
