Terroir Summary: The vineyard is characterized by minimal precipitation and high levels of humidity, an effect of the Humboldt Current. The vines, located on a flat and unprotected terrain, are exposed to continuous sunlight and marine breeze. This combination of factors produce large grapes with high levels of acidity and therefore a drier, mineral-forward pisco.
