The Vineyard
The País vines are planted near San Javier, south of Talca in the Maule Valley, at 95 meters above sea level and 85 kilometers from the Pacific coast, in granite-dominated, clay-loam soils.
The vineyards are home to more than 100-year old ungrafted and unirrigated vines. Age-old harvesting methods passed down from generation to generation, respect for nature and good, old-fashioned farm work are put to work on these human-scale vines that yield the quality fruit which is later crafted into good wine.
