Soils

Soil composition varies depending on its origin. Sedimentary soils are created by sediments from rivers and glaciers and have textures that range from loam to sandy loam having abundant gravel when in depth. Other types of granitic origin soils (rocks decomposed through many years) have clay loam textures at the surface and sandy loam textures when in depth; its colour is dark brown and moderately saturated. There are also soils of volcanic origin with clay loam textures and a dark brown colour at surface with gravel in depth.

Soil varieties are an excellent advantage for locating diverse areas specifically advantageous for each of the vine stock produced, which along with the warm summer days yet cool windy nights, creates a perfect mesoclimate for the growth of the different varieties of red grapes. The outcome is the production of intensely and lively red tinted wines, with soft and round tannins. White wines also find a niche with their production of fresh wines, which have good acidity levels as well as the perfect volume and balance.
