Vineyards
Our entire vineyards are carefully tended with affection and with respect for the natural surroundings. The grapes in our Pacifico Sur Estate Carmenere wine come from our own four vineyards in the Central Valley in Chile. The vineyards were planted in flat and low ridges in places with extraordinary natural conditions perfect for the production of wine grapes.

Climate
The Central Valley has a Mediterranean-style climate with a cold, rainy winter and a warm, dry summer. Marked temperature differences between day and night make ideal conditions for the growth of our wine grapes.

Vinification
The grapes are harvested by hand in April when they have reached optimal maturity. The must is then fermented in our winery in stainless steel tanks with selected yeasts at temperatures ranging from 28º to 30º C (82º to 86º F) for seven days. The wine is then left to macerate for five additional days in order to extract its fruity characteristic. Finally, the wine is placed in stainless steel tanks for 3 months before being bottled and launched on the market.
