Quebrada Seca, planted in 1993, is the oldest Chardonnay vineyard in Limarí. Situated on the 4th terrace above the river, this is a dry site with 50-100mm of rainfall per year. As a result, Quebrada Seca has dwindled significantly over the years to those parcels exposed to the camanchaca – a dewy mist from the ocean that settles over the vineyard in summer. In addition to providing moisture, this marine layer also moderates the temperature of Quebrada Seca, allowing for a Chardonnay with minerality and finesse melded with the weight and depth of the older, ungrafted massale selection vines.
