Limari Valley, CHILE.

ORIGIN/Limari Valley. Located in the north of Chile, a wide range of di�erent soil types and climates can be found when one progresses from the Paci�c Ocean to the Andes Mountains. The grapes for this wine come from a vineyard only 19km from the sea, which means that this vineyard receives all the in�uence of the Humboldt Current, in the form of a fresh breeze that comes in from the sea.

SOIL/The soil type corresponds to a very old alluvial terrace of the Limarí river, where the �rst layer of the pro�le is very particular because of the presence of organic minerals and high levels of calcium carbonate. The second layer of the soil pro�le is a mix of clay and gravel, and the bottom of the pro�le is composed of sand and clay with a layer again of gravel and stones. The synergy of the soil with the climate of this area have made that these grapes year after year produce a wine with great personality, above all because of the minerality and high natural acidity.

CLIMATE/Cold climate near the sea.

HARVEST/The grapes were hand picked during the third week of March.

De Martino Single Vineyard "Quebrada Seca" Chardonnay 2009These wines, from very small properties and limited production, are the fruit of the work we started in 1996 investigating Chile from north to south and vinifying over 350 di�erent terroirs. Of these, only a few were selected, with the objective to create wines that are a true re�ection of their origin. This line shows the diversity of Chile and represents its best terroirs. It is a journey thourgh our geography, where each wine tells us a new and unique story.
