The Mayu vineyards are located in different sectors of the Valley
Quebrada de Talca: At about 350 mts above the sea level cold climate- just 17/18 km. from the Pacific Ocean- often very foggy in the morning; place for Sauvignon Blanc, Torontel and Syrah.
The vineyards are partially on the flat (close to the Elqui river, in a gravelly soil) and part on the foothill of the cerro Mayu, dominated by the observatory.
El Tambo: At about 550 mts above the sea level, 50 km. inland, drier and warmer; great area for Carmenere, Syrah and also Pedro Ximenez (YUNGAY VINEYARD). Climate conditions are warmer, with less fog in the morning (just from the artificial dam) and much more sunshine.
La Compañia: Just around the main village of valley, Vicuña, at 650 mts., above the sea level, 60 km., inland close to the old bed of the Elqui River where Carmenere, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon are growing very well.
The character of the wine is different from the one of the cool climate area, but every year consistent.
Dimaro Vineyards: This is the second highest vineyard in the valley with an impressive Pedro Ximenez, Altitud is around 1000 metres above the sea level and 85 km. away the Pacific coast.
Originally this vineyard was for Pisco production, but Mauro worked hard in order to get a nice PX with a great personality.
