Climate
Its semi-arid Mediterranean climate, strongly influenced by the majestic Andes mountain range, makes this area the coldest part of the Alto Maipo Valley.
Its significant daily temperature fluctuation, around 18°C, is the crucial element for producing high-quality wine as it extends the grape maturation period, concentrating and intensifying its exquisite aromas.
Soil
Its alluvial soils, nutrient-poor and composed of clays, silt, sands, gravels, and rounded stones, ensure excellent permeability, drainage, and low fertility. This favors the concentration and natural ripening of the grape clusters, resulting in powerful wines of great complexity.
