Las Pizarras is one of the most innovative projects in recent years, with a great sense of origin and pioneers in adopting a philosophy based on the terroir from Aconcagua Costa. Years of knowledge and mapping the vineyard revealed specifics blocks to produce the most complete and complex Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah.
The grapes used to produce this wine come entirely from our Aconcagua Costa estate, from specific plots with slate type rock. the temperature differences in this cool climate location and the uniqueness of its soils and elevations enable each small plot to ripen at its own pace. Because of its proximity to the cold Pacific Ocean and its well-drained soils with abundant laminar rock, this vineyard delivers Chardonnay with exceptional complexity, depth, minerality and natural acidity.
2022 was an exceptional vintage with low yields and healthy grapes due to a dry and harmonious temperature pattern that delivered wines with tremendous concentration and structure. Spring started with mild and dry days allowing a good budbreak and balanced development of the canopy. January was warmer than average, pushing towards a short and even veraison, promoting a uniform maturation of the grapes. The cooler following months encouraged a slow ripening, preserving the acidity and developing complexity in the grapes. The low crop and slow and steady ripening enables us to produce perfectly balanced wines, with full aromatic intensity, great concentration and freshness that reflect the characteristics of our terroir.
