This wine comes from the finest Viña^? San Pedro vineyards in the Elqui Valley. The soils are sandy-silty loam with angular stones throughout its profile. The vineyards receive a strong marine influence, due to its proximity to the sea, just 20 km (12.4 mi) away. Fog enters the Elqui River Valley from the sea each morning and covers the vineyards until mid-day. This and the customary winds of this area ensure a cool climate and good ventilation for the vertically trellised and drip irrigated vines.
