Casablanca characterizes for being a pre-costal valley, located 18 km from the sea, on the costal planes of the region and surrounded by the mountain range of the coast.

It has a clear maritime influence, the climate is mostly cold, and it presents morning fog and a wide thermal range between day and night favoring the slow maturity of the grape.
The maritime air enters at midday in the form of cool breezes, and also as mist, large masses of humid air, around dawn. A normal spring day in the valley begins cloudy and slowly clears as the temperature rises and the mist evaporates with the heat. The air that enters is cold due to the Pacific Ocean along the Chilean coast which is influenced by the cold Humboldt Current of Antarctic origin which moderates temperatures.
The summer mean temperature is around 25ºC and the mean annual temperature is 14.4ºC. Rainfalls concentrate between May and October, with an annual average of 450mm; frosts may occur in September and October; from November to April the climate is more or less dry.

Unlike other valleys, harvest begins later, from March 15th until the end of April. Undoubtly, the weather characteristics offer us premium quality wines, with a high fruit concentration, good acidity and a sparkling end.
