About Alto Maipo

Where it grows

On the eastern, Andean side of the Maipo Valley around vineyard areas such as Puente Alto and Pirque.

Alto Maipo is a descriptive wine-area name for the upper valley and foothill landscape. It is not a substitute for the more specific origin on a bottle, such as Pirque or Puente Alto. Cabernet Sauvignon thrives in selected stony terrace sites, with cool air from the Andes helping shape the growing conditions. Individual estates and vineyard positions vary, so altitude alone does not determine a wine’s style.
