This year\u2019s growing season should produce some intense and complex wines!<\/p>\n
We are very excited and fortunate to be sourcing our Chilean grapes and juices from the \u201cHeart of the Chilean Wine Industry\u201d known as the Curico Valley. \u00a0Curico has been a wine grape growing region since the 1800s. With its fertile soil, microclimates, and the ability to grow over 30 different wine grape varieties, it\u2019s no wonder this prestigious region is considered the heart of the wine industry.<\/p>\n
Soil Content:<\/em> Sand, clay, decomposed granite, and volcanic-alluvial.<\/p>\n The second region we will be sourcing from is the Colchagua Valley. The Colchagua Valley is known for growing bold red wines, such as Carm\u00e9n\u00e8re, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Syrah. It has a mediterranean climate and is located along the southern end of the Rapel Valley. This topography creates a climate that receives around 23.3 inches of rainfall per year and little to no rainfall during their summer months. This helps keep the grapes safe close to harvest and ensures that the grapes are fighting for water therefore creating a more intense fruit.<\/p>\n \u00a0Soil Content:<\/em> Sand, decomposed granite, and clay<\/p>\n This year\u2019s harvest has gotten off to a great start. The white grapes are coming off the vine and will be in transit soon. Our early red grapes such as Pinot Noir and Merlot will start harvesting around March 30th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Arrival Dates:<\/em> White grapes should arrive around the last week in April and the red grapes should start to arrive around the first week in May.
