Its proximity to the Pacific Ocean—just 15 km away—results in tremendous maritime influence. The Sauvignon Blanc vines—clones 1 (45%), 530 (35%), and 159 (20%)— are vertically positioned.
WEATHER
Semi-arid coastal. Influenced by the Rapel River and the Pacific Ocean.
AGING
7 months in stainless steel tanks.
SOIL
Granitic with a clay-loam texture. Poor in organic matter with good drainage.
