A Terroir is defined as the osmosis between soil, climate, grape variety, and man. The Arturo Perez Rojas vineyard, from which Piedra Sagrada originates, is located in Pirque, Maipo Andes, the cradle of Chile's greatest wines. But beyond this prestigious designation, it is a unique "spot," a vein of only 3.8 hectares, with exceptional characteristics.

Located at an altitude of 650 meters, our terroir is nestled in the coldest area of Pirque, in what meteorologists call a "cold spot." This phenomenon causes severe frosts in autumn and spring, putting our vineyard to the test, but also results in diurnal temperature variations that can reach 30°C.

This uniqueness promotes a slow and uniform development of our grapes, which, combined with our various soils and the presence of an underground river coming directly from the Andes, enhances differentiated maturation for each of our plots. It is not uncommon for us to harvest our 3.8 hectares over a period of more than a month.

The hot, dry summers can reach 37°C, while the short, cold winters have low rainfall. Solar radiation is intense throughout the day due to low cloud cover.

During the four glacial periods, violent landslides created an alluvial cone formed by four terraces. Our vineyard is located on the fourth terrace, the oldest one.

This is a poor soil, with a thin layer of silt with low organic matter content. Deeper down, between 40 and 120 cm from the surface, bolones begin to appear—rounded stones deposited by ancient glaciers—as well as considerable proportions of clay. The drainage and porosity are excellent; the high oxygen content allows for very good water infiltration and promotes the development of deep roots.

But what differentiates this "spot" from the neighboring lands is that it is composed of 7 micro-plots with notable differences in soil composition. This allows us to have completely different juices from these 7 plots; some provide us with powerful and persistent tannins, others with unparalleled delicacy.

Our massal selection, 100% ungrafted Cabernet Sauvignon, made up of very small berries, allows us to have a very high proportion of dry matter.

At Piedra Sagrada, the grape variety takes a back seat to the terroir, becoming a reflection of the expression of an exceptional ecosystem. This osmosis between the plant, the soil, and the climate provides unparalleled aromatic and taste intensities.

A terroir that thus dominates the varietal; the signature of an exceptional wine, a wine that has become divine.
