Colchagua is a warm, Mediterranean region in north central Chile known for growing rhone varietals such as Syrah and Viognier as well as excellent Cabernet and Carmenere. The climate is temperate all year round and the enhanced marine influence acts as a moderating factor for both hottest and coldest yearly temperatures. The vineyards stretch to the very foot of the Andes and are carefully managed to counteract the natural soil vigour.From their website: Dressed in the beautiful medium golden colour characteristic of this variety.
