Casablanca Valley Vineyard
80 km West of Santiago towards the coast, just 30 km from the Pacific Ocean
Terroir characteristics
The Casablanca Valley lies 20-30 Km from the Pacific Ocean making it an ideal location to grow white grape varietals and Pinot Noir given the cool climate and considerable thermic amplitude between daytime an night temperatures. In addition mornings are typically misty throughout the ripening season which helps obtain wines with greater acidity. The soils are predominantly of clay composition but often contain sandy substrata as well as some volcanic decomposition from snowmelt that comes from The Andes. The average annual rainfall is 500mm ad is predominantly in the winter.
