The Region:
Despite its nearly 500 years of existence, Chile's wine industry is fresh, young, and evolving to meet the needs of today's ever more demanding world markets. Our Chilean wines exemplify the classic flavors and varietal character from vineyards located in Chile's Limari Valley.
- Located 250 miles north of Santiago, LimarĂ Valley is Chile's "hot" new "cool" climate viticultural region.
- An up-and-coming region to watch: In 1995 there were just 230 acres of vineyards across LimarĂ; there are now over 4,000 acres planted, with more on the way
- The Valley lies along the south border of the Atacama desert, the driest place on earth. But it benefits from a strong coastal influence - even more so than Chile's other coastal areas - because the mountain range which hugs the shoreline begins in the Valley.
- This microclimate, combined with a unique limestone bed buried under LimarĂ Valley's alluvial clay soils, is perfect for white grapes
- The wines display ripe and fully concentrated flavors as a result of the climate conditions and longer grape ripening periods. The perfect climate for Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc.
