Viña Caliterra is located in the heart of Colchagua, a protected valley southeast of Lago Rapel and adjoining the Apalta Valley.

The vineyards and winery are located on a 1,030 ha (2,544-acre) estate with 415 plantable hectares (1,025 acres), 60 kms from the Pacific Ocean and 200 km from Santiago, Chile's capital.

The vineyards were first planted in 1997, with 210 ha (518.5 acres) of Merlot, Carmenère, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz and smaller lots of Malbec and Sangiovese.

The valley's Mediterranean climate is characterized by its winter rains and the strong influence of the cool breezes blowing from Lago Rapel and the Pacific. This climatic pattern allows the fruit to ripen on the vine, heightening the intensity of flavors and concentration of tannins.

The vineyard has a wide range of soil textures with a high percentage of rock dominating the clay-loam soils.

New hillside plantings have been introduced to reap more of the estate's potential. Thirty two new hectares (79 acres) have been added to the current vineyards for a total of 242 ha (597.5 acres) planted. Rocks are abundant in the estate's medium textured soils that range from clay-loam to sandy-loam, making it possible to obtain wines of different tipicities.

Our vineyard in the Casablanca Valley, situated only 40 km from the coast and recognized for the quality of white wines it produces, is the source of our Chardonnay Tribute.

The vineyards on the slopes of the Curicó Valley benefit from the area's stable climate and soils suitable for producing Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay Reserva with a high natural acidity.
