“Grillos Cantores” vineyard is located in the Alto Cachapoal D.O. Climate is warm-fresh because of the Andes Glaciars and altitude, allowing a long maturity season and beautiful natural acidity. The vineyard is in the piedmont of the Andes Mountains, providing very cold nights and important thermic oscillations. The soils are fully gravelly, with a mix of granit and volcanic rounded rocks, mixed with limestones coming from the Andes, given to the wines minerality and soft tannins.
