Reviews and Ratings

The soil is a mixture of 20% clay and 80% sand providing the vies with outstanding drainage and optimum moisture retention. The climate is influenced and moderated by its proximity to the river with winds sweeping in and down from the Andes Mountains. Cool climate and high altitude benefits Cabernet.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.
