Location: Limarí Valley is located at the most narrow point of Chile (less than 60 miles). The cooling Camanchaca fog creeps into the valley from the Pacific Ocean each morning and the Andes drives low temperatures in the evenings. The short, cool days (with limestone soil) make it perfect for Chardonnay and cool-climate Syrah with a distinct mineral edge.
