Colchagua Valley

It is a corridor formed by two transversal mountain ranges of the Andes that open themselves to the ocean.

To the east, the valley limits with Los Andes mountain range and with the Coastal mountain range and the Pacific Ocean to the West.

The low altitude of the Coastal range in the Colchagua area (500 mt./1,640 feet) allows a strong influence of the sea.

Mediterranean climate with well defined seasons.

Rains in winter (May through August) with total rainfall of 600 mm/year (24 inches/year).

Dry season November through April, average highest summer temperatures of 280C (830F) and average lowest temperatures of 120C (540F).

Fresh breezes coming from the Andes mountain range create an ideal microclimate with clear temperature differences between day and night (up to 220C- 720F).

1,700 days degree /year. Relative humidity varies between 60% in summer and 82% in winter. Skies are very clear and transparent, giving the valley an optimal light regime.

These favorable climatic conditions make Colchagua Valley a true paradise for high quality wine growing activity. Vineyard management under these conditions is for sure one of the most ecological ones in the world.
