The first 30 cm of soil is loam with a large amount ofstones below that. These soils ensure good drainage and low fertility, which helps restrict the plants’ vegetative growth and encourages the accumulation and maturation of phenolic compounds. In general the vineyard has a semi-arid Mediterranean climate with an average rainfall of 350 mm per year. It is planted in one average rainfall of 350 mm per year. It is planted in one of the coldest sectors of the AltoMaipo Valley

The fruit from each vineyard block was vinified separately in small-volume stainless steel tanks. The Don Melchor winemakersand viticulturist determined the duration of the post-fermentation maceration by enological tastings. All of the lots of wines are later tasted and selected to make the final blend, which is then aged in French oak barrels for 15 mths.
