San Antonio Valley:
Manantiales Estate

The production in this new winemaking zone is one of the most ambitious ventures for Viña Apaltagua, considering that the characteristics of the soil and climate have given extraordinary results in ventures very close to ours.

The initiative to cultivate grapes in the San Antonio Valley was propelled by the geographic and climactic conditions of the area. The proximity of the Pacific Ocean, only 10 kilometers from the vineyard, greatly influences the climate, with frequent cold breezes and a high humidity level. This produces grape bunches that are small, and slow to ripen, but are also highly concentrated in their flavors and aromas.
