Ojos Verde "Green Eyes"
Additional Information
Meaning: Green Eyes
Origin: Ojos Verdes sector of Batuco Vineyard
Location: Coastal mountains of Maule
Vineyard characteristics:
Year planted: 2008
Topography: low rolling hills
Climate: Mediterranean, with wet winters and dry summers
Temperatures: Elevation and proximity to the Pacific Ocean keep daytime temperatures moderate. Nighttime temperatures drop considerably. Temperature oscillations of more than 20°C are very common during the summer and fall.
Soils: deep alluvial clay and sand. Roots can penetrate more than 3 meters deep. Low fertility.
Irrigation: Winter rain water is accumulated in the reservoir, and together with the water that seeps from the “ojos verdes” (green eyes), we irrigate the vineyards with about 30% of the normal amount of water. The deep soils and cooler soils compensate, and the result are healthy vines that mature slowly and gracefully.
