D.O. MARCHIGÜE

in the Valley Colchagua

In the Colchagua Valley, between the Coastal Mountain Range and the sea, our Marchigüe vineyards lie within gently undulating terrain that reaches the Pacific Ocean some 25 kilometres away. Here, our red grapes ripen slowly under the influence of slightly cooler temperatures. The topography is considerably flatter than at Apalta, characterised by low-sloping hills. The soils are shallow, often no more than 60 centimetres deep, with moderate clay content and a high capacity for water retention.
