hot and dry summer. These conditions contributed to early maturation and a high

concentration in the grapes, resulting in wines with great intensity and character. In short,

2019 was a year warmer than the historical average and with sanitary conditions

excellent.

DESIGNATION OF ORIGIN

CURICO: The Curicó Valley is located 200 kilometers south of Santiago. This region

has an ideal climate for the production of both red and white wines, thanks to the

proximity to the sea and the Andes. The composition of the soil varies between clay, sand and

granite, which allows for greater water retention capacity, helping the vines to

survive without problems during dry and hot summers. It is known for being one of the

oldest wine regions, with vineyards over 100 years old.
