Description

Lost in the hills of Chile´s coastal mountains, Ojos Verdes vineyard is a hidden treasure. The coastal mountains form no snowcap in winter, so there is no snowmelt for irrigation. However, the deep clay soils retain moisture from the winter rains, which slowly seep out to form “ojos verdes” (green eyes) that dot the landscape, and provide just enough moisture for the vines to grow.

The result is healthy vines, with naturally restrained vigor, and a constant but not overwhelming level of stress, producing grapes with magnificent concentration.
