ChileĀ“s natural geographic barriers — the Atacama Desert to the north, the Andes Mountains to the east, the Patagonian ice fields to the south, and the Pacific Ocean to the west — has made Chile known as a viticultural paradise. They help maintain healthy conditions and protect vineyards against pests and disease delivering diversity and fabulous natural winemaking conditions.
Inside this paradise we can find the beautiful Loncomilla Valley which has a sub-moist Mediterranean climate with warm summers that are cooled by breezes of the Pacific Ocean and the Andes Mountains. This cooling influence creates a long growing season with slow ripening of the grapes which enhances the flavours, intensity and concentration of our wines.
Average rainfall in the valley is 730mm and only comes during the winter. This lack of rain helps the viticulturalists to control vigour and berry size, as well as to work with a non-interventionist, sustainable approach to viticulture.
