Our valley

The project considered using a specific portion of land on high mountains to plant vineyards that would produce Premium quality wines. The 3-year study evaluated a number of aspects, including exposure to sunlight, hillside perspectives and slopes, and in-depth study of the type of soil.
The outcome: A multidisciplinary team consisting of one viticulturist specialized in vineyard micromanagement, a winemaker specialized in Premium wines, and a geologist specialized in terroir, determined the scope and type of plantation, and chose the grape varieties, clones, orientation, training, pruning, and irrigation systems, among other variables.

Total area under vineyard: 11.5 hectares
4 clones of Pinot Noir and 2 clones of Syrah
2 different rootstocks
Yield: 1 kg of grapes per plant
Between 4,000 and 6,600 plants per hectare.
30 to 70+-degree slopes
Granite soil of variable depth resting over fractured bedrock, which allows roots to explore the entire soil profile.

Viña Casablanca’s actions are the result of deep and keen knowledge of each and every vineyard.
The agricultural department has also been actively involved in sustainable development, such as the ultra-premium vineyards on the eastern slope of Nimbus estate (Casablanca valley).
