Caliterra Tributo Syrah

The grapes used for the Tributo Syrah come from specially selected lots from the Caliterra Estate in the Colchagua Valley, which extends from the Andes Mountains to the Pacific Ocean through a large part of the Tinguiririca River basin. The Coastal Mountains are lower in Colchagua than anywhere else in the country and allow cool ocean breezes to enter the valley every afternoon, which results in hot days and cool nights during the ripening season. The Caliterra Estate is located 200 km south of Santiago and 60 km from the coast at 150 meters above sea level. The 1,030 hectare property is comprised of 242 hectares under vines: 210 were planted in 1997-1998 and another 32 in 2005.
