Vineyards
Peumo, D.O. Peumo, Cachapoal Valley
650 hectares (450 hectares exclusively Carménère). The soils are deep alluvial clay-loam, associated with riverbanks. The climate is Mediterranean with a prolonged dry season, without extreme temperatures, with warm days and mild nights, moderated by the influence of the Cachapoal River and Lake Rapel. Main varieties planted: Carménère.

El Mariscal, D.O. Puente Alto, Alto Maipo Valley
52.95 hectares. Soils of alluvial origin, stony, poor in nutrients and highly permeable due to the presence of gravel in the subsoil, allowing excellent drainage. The climate is semi-arid Mediterranean with a strong influence from the Andes. It is the coldest part of the Maipo Valley; its pronounced daily thermal oscillation, around 18°C, prolongs the ripening of the grapes, concentrating and intensifying their aromas. Main varieties planted: Cabernet Sauvignon.

Quebrada Seca, D.O. Limarí, Limarí Valley
65 hectares. The Quebrada Seca vineyard is located 190 metres above sea level, just 22 kilometres from the Pacific Ocean, on the northern bank of the Limarí River. The soils are clayey and rich in calcium carbonate; temperatures are cool and mornings are cloudy, allowing the fruit to mature slowly, resulting in fresher wines. The climate is coastal semi-arid. Main varieties planted: Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
