climate

Mediterranean climate with a wide range between daytime and nighttime temperatures, resulting from the proximity of the Pacific Ocean and the Andes Mountains. These vineyards are located slightly closer to the Pacific Ocean and therefore receive coastal breezes that help keeping cool temperatures during summer. Annual rainfall averages about 600 millimeters (23.6 inches) concentrated in winter months.
