The grapes come from different growers in Chile’s Central Valley, where there is a predominance of alluvial soils in most areas. A wide range of strategies is used in managing the canopy, all aimed at maximising the amount of sunshine reaching the area where the fruit is ripening. The preferred technique consists in training the shoots vertically, which improves their exposure to the sun’s rays and enhances the development of flavour in the fruit. Irrigation is applied in a measured fashion, in order to maintain the balanced growth of the vine and achieve a constant rhythm of ripening.
