Terroir

Alluvial soil, rocky, with calcium carbonate. 20 year old vines.

Vineyard

In the foothills of the Andes Mountains at 3,600ft above sea level, Paraje Altamira has a continental climate, intense cold spells and year-round wide thermal amplitude. Bright sunlight and scarce rain generate a very healthy environment for making wine. The soils are alluvial, with a sandy-loam topsoil covering calcium carbonate-rich (limestone) soils. Juanfa and Cecilia practice sustainable farming and winemaking with indigenous yeast. They rely on Andean meltwater to irrigate their crops.
