VINEYARD OF ORIGIN: Fundo Linderos. VINEYARD DESCRIPTION: Located 570�600 masl and trellised to vertical shoot position with a northern exposure. New massal selections were taken from the oldest and best vineyards in the valley in 2008, and grafting onto 110R rootstock was introduced as a solution to potential problems with nematodes and to heighten quality. Drip irrigation was incorporated in 1999. YEAR PLANTED AND DENSITY: 1992; 4,000 plants/hectare. YIELD: 10 a 12 tons, 50-60 Hl/ha. SOIL: Very deep soils on terraces of alluvial origin with loam to clay-loam textures and abundant stones in the profile that provides excellent drainage. Low in organic matter (2%) and neutral pH (6.8�7.0). CLIMATE: The Alto Maipo zone has ideal conditions for growing Cabernet Sauvignon. The Maipo River naturally regulates the temperatures and prevents extreme cold or frost as well as excessive summer heat. The 2017 season in the Maipo Valley was characterized by a lack of winter precipitation and high temperatures in spring and summer, which pushed the harvest up. The Cabernet Sauvignon yields were low but of good quality, with very concentrated wines. HARVEST: Manual, April 11�26, 2017
