Region

The grapes hail from Aconcagua Valley one of the country’s premier wine regions. With a Mediterranean-like climate - hot, dry summers and mild, brief winters - the area benefits from the cooling effects of the nearby ocean. Morning fogs ensure slow, even ripening, resulting in wines of exceptional quality and complexity.
