Terroir Overview
This inland/valley vineyard is characterized by its warm, arid summers followed by cool, cloudy winters. The surrounding slopes (part of the Andes mountain range) protect the vines from early morning and late afternoon sun. These factors result in smaller grapes with higher sugar concentrations, which lead to a round and fruit-forward pisco.

Fundo Puente Viejo
Founded and led by the del Carpio family, and heavily influenced by the Pacific Ocean breeze.
Terroir Overview
This coastal vineyard sees minimal precipitation but retains high humidity influenced by the Humboldt Current. On flat, unprotected terrain, the vines receive uninterrupted sun and steady marine breeze. These conditions produce larger grapes with elevated acidity, resulting in a drier, mineral-forward pisco.
