Winery | The vineyard is situated in the Valle de Leyda, west of the Coastal Mountain range, 14 kilometres from the Pacific Ocean. The cooling influence of the Pacific breezes, and the summer morning coastal fog extends the grape's growing period. In the summer, the average temperatures rarely exceed 25°C, and this ensures that the grapes ripen slowly, developing fresh and intense flavours and aromas and a lower potential alcohol content. The Chardonnay vines are planted in soils with a shallow clay surface profile and poor fertility, with a cracked clay sedimentary layer. The subsoil is decomposed granite rock and has a diverse mineral structure. The soil where the Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc vines are planted is very similar. Still, it also has stone encrustations among the clay, which has excellent water retention properties to nourish the vines through the warm summer. |
