Maipo Valley
The Maipo river wine valley is the oldest wine producing zone in Chile.
This region has a Mediterranean climate, its annual rain average is
350 mm and its soil is watered by affluent coming from the Andes Mountains.
In
this valley different capages are cultivated; one of the best known
is Cabernet Sauvignon. Viñedos Miraflores Organics vineyards
are located in a quiet and beautiful zone called Isla de Maipo, which
is Southwest from Santiago, the capital of Chile. This soil and special
microclimate, plus the centennial wine tradition of its people, create
a terroir that gives the wine a particular character.
In the last couple of decades, the tendency to take good care of the
environment while sowing the soil has become stronger. This has also
reached viticulture, both in the treatment of the grape and the process
of vinification, avoiding the use of chemical compounds and thus benefiting
human’s health.
The
organic concept needs of a rigorous way of cultivating the grapevine,
following the natural cycles of plants and soils and protecting the
environment from external pollution. Only by following these requirements
our wine can be internationally certified and sold as organic.
