The grapes were carefully sourced from selected Valle Central growers, encompassing the Maipo Valley, Rapel Valley, Curico Valley, and Maule Valley. The Central Valley is a 1,000-kilometre plateau between the Andes Mountains and the cool Pacific Ocean. The climate, with its warm sunny days, cooler evenings, and intense sunlight, encourages a long growing season, ideally suited to producing healthy grapes with concentrated fruit flavours. The soils are fertile, and the vineyards benefit from natural irrigation from the melted snow in the Andes.
