Malleco Valley Vineyard
565km South of Santiago and 80km from the Pacific Ocean
Terroir characteristics
The grapes come from a vineyard near Victoria, between Traiguén and Lautaro, in the Malleco valley. This is a new region where cool climate, high quality grapes are grown at about 565km south of Santiago and approximately 80km inland from the Pacific Ocean. The soils are deep and black and rich in trumao – a volcanic soil formed by deposits from the historic eruptions of the nearby volcanoes; principally Tolhuaca and Lonquimay. The topography of the area includes solitary hills and ranges of mountains that rise up from the plains forming the Coastal range of mountains. The climate is mild and maritime with considerable thermic amplitude which is ideal for growing ripe grapes of high quality.
