VALLEYS
Unusually long and narrow, CHILE stretches 4.300 km in length and averages a mere 177 km in width. Its Mediterranean climate with warm, dry summers creates ideal conditions for grape growing and fine wine production.
Our grapes come from 8 valleys located from the cool-climate coastal zones to the foothills of the Andes Mountains, in a total area of more than 400 km from north to south, where diverse types of soils and climates are found. All this in order to show the best and most diverse terroir of our country through our wines.
