Owned by ACW Group, one of Chile’s most prestigious family winegrowing businesses, Viña Aresti is situated in Molina, Curicó valley, less than 200 km south of Santiago. New vineyards near the Claro river –Micaela, Peñaflor, and La Reserva have been added to Bellavista, the original estate.
The vineyards are situated in Curicó, Chile’s largest and most famous wine valley. With privileged climate, alluvial soil, a long dry season and a daytime/nighttime temperature differential of some 20ºC, this region offers the ideal conditions for the production of superior wines.
Bellavista: Its slightly deep soil with little rock content provides excellent conditions for varieties like Sauvignon Blanc and Gewürztraminer.
Micaela: Deep clay-loam soil with a rocky profile below one meter of depth, ideal for red varieties.
Peñaflor: Deep clay-loam, slightly acidic soil with gentle slopes mostly used to grow Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc and Carmenère, and Pinot Noir and Merlot to a lesser extent.
La Reserva: Variable soil (from clay-loam to sandy), with medium-low fertility, rolling hills and different sun exposure, perfect for the production of a wide range of grape varieties.
Grapes of the highest quality are essential for the production of superior wines. To attain the level of quality we seek, we have focused our processes on:
Sectorization of the vineyards using precision viticulture.
Intensive canopy management to enhance bunch microclimate.
Lower yields to boost fruit intensity.
FDR technology to monitor soil moisture and determine irrigation strategies.
5,000 m2 winery with storage capacity for 9 million liters, including a 1,000-barrel cellar with controlled temperature, a modern line capable bottling 6,000 bottles/hour and a Bag-in-Box packing line production.
Every year, Aresti processes close to 6 million kilos of grapes and around 8 million liters of wine that are later packed in various formats.
The winery owns stainless steel vats with capacity ranging from 1,000 to 60,000 liters in controlled temperature environments, which ensures the proper treatment to the different varieties, qualities, and origins.
At our vineyards we cover crops and use drip irrigation; we reduce, reuse and recycle to minimize waste. We protect the native flora and we are working with sheep grazing for weed control.
At Aresti we take care of the health and safety of all our employees, we have ongoing training programs and a continue involvement in the community by carrying out activities such as, a multimedia library for free use and offering internships to college students. We encourage a healthy lifestyle and family sports.
