MINGRE

VINEYARD

Mingre has 32,62 planted hectares of Carménère (8,94 ha), Cabernet Sauvignon (7,2 ha), Carignan (5,35 ha), País (2,04 ha), Petit Verdot (2 ha), Syrah (2 ha), Cabernet Franc (1,09 ha), Monastrell (1,44 ha), Garnacha (1,16 ha) y Malbec (0,2 ha). The plantings are oriented East-West and vertical trellises are used to capture as much sun as possible in the canopy. 52% of the vine parcels are drip-watered via deficit irrigation, in which case we monitor the water levels in test pits. The rest of the parcels are only watered by the rain (dry farming).

The vineyard is organic, certified by Ecocert.

CLIMATE

Mingre has a temperate climate, of the Mediterranean type. The average maximum and minimum summer temperatures are 30°C and 7°C respectively. This temperature range is ideal for a high concentration of color in the grapes. Average rainfall is 460 mm, which is concentrated in the winter months (June, July and August). The absence of rainfall in the summer months, as well as the four distinct seasons, allows us to obtain healthy grapes with optimum ripeness for each vintage.

SOIL

Mingre has 3 types of soils: Granito Insitu, Transported Granite and Transported Granite with high degree of evolution. Mingre lies amongst one of the oldest soils in Chile, aged approximately of 120 million years, composed of granitic rocks with a high degree of decomposition, producing wines of great structure and length.

LOCATION

The Mingre estate is located in the Maule Valley, an interior dry land, 45 km from the Pacific and 193 meters above sea level. It sits on the western side of Chile’s Coastal Mountains (S 35° 34’ 29.4” – O 71° 59’ 23.6”).SEE THE MAP

BATUCO

VINEYARD

Batuco has 15,48 planted hectares of Sauvignon Blanc (8,73 ha), Chardonnay (4 ha) and Semillon (2,75 ha). Vines are grown on vertical trellises and the only water they receive is from the rain (dry farming).

CLIMATE

In Batuco we have 2 soils: Insitu Granite and Mixed Granite. It presents a granitic soil, characteristic of certain slopes of the Coastal Mountain Range, with low clay content and granitic matter dragged by water courses. This soil confers great acidity and elegance to our whites.

SANTA ROSA

VINEYARD

Santa Rosa has 75,74 planted hectares of Cabernet Sauvignon (29,28 ha), Carménère (20,3 ha), Merlot (15,77 ha), Malbec (4,99 ha), Sauvignon Blanc (4 ha), y Syrah (1,4 ha). The plantation dates are 1956, 1957, 1994, 1995, 2001 and 2011. Vines are grown on vertical trellises and drip-watered. Watering is measured via test pits and by analyzing the growth points on the vine.

The vineyard is organic, certified by Ecocert.

CLIMATE

Santa Rosa has a temperate, Mediterranean climate affected by the sea breezes that come up from the Pacific via the Maule River, which contributes to a slow, balanced maturation process, thereby preserving the aromas of the grape. The rains are generally heaviest in the winter months (June, July and August). The absence of rain during the summer, as well as having four well-defined seasons, renders healthy grapes with ideal maturation at every harvest.

SOIL

Santa Rosa has alluvial soils, due to its proximity to the Maule River, with a large quantity of rounded rocks intermingled with clay horizons, combination that creates wines with a velvet structure in pallate and fresh aromas.

LOCATION

The Santa Rosa estate is located in the Maule Valley, 54 km from the Pacific and 61 meters above sea level (S 35° 31’ 26.46” – O 71° 50’ 53.53”).
