| Winery | The grapes are sourced from low-yielding vines from the Liguai Estate. Located in the Maipo Valley’s 'Maipo-Andes' subregion, the vineyard is between 440 and 520 metres in the mountain foothills. The double Guyot-trained vines are drip irrigated and grown in alluvial soils with low fertility. Once the grapes have reached optimum maturity levels, the harvest occurs manually. |
