The family owned Viña San Esteban vineyards and winery are located in the La Florida and Paidahuen vineyards, in the town of San Esteban in the Aconcagua Valley in central Chile. Privileged soil conditions and the Aconcagua's microclimate, together with quality technological practices in the vineyards and the winery, produce quality grapes and wines which are recognised internationally. In Situ is a ‘terroir project’ with the vineyards located at the eastern end of the Aconcagua river Valley. The warm daytime temperatures provide ideal ripening conditions for the grapes, while the altitude and the breezes that descend from the Andes mountains at night provide the cooling required to achieve the balancing acidity necessary for great wines.
For years, the hillsides of Mt. Paidahuen have been a meeting ground for Aconcagua Valley inhabitants. Today, these slopes are home to the In Situ vineyard, where enigmatic rock engravings from ages past remain intact among native plant life and grapevines, symbolizing a union between past and present Aconcagua. The In Situ philosophy is to create wines that reflect the unique character of the Aconcagua Valley. Through our careful winemaking techniques, we strive to capture the full expression of the vineyard’s terroir in every bottle. Winemaker Horacio Vicente explores the diversity of the Upper Aconcagua terroir in this limited-production blends. Individually selected vineyard plots and grape varieties create a unique experience with each Signature Wine. 1500m altitude in the Andes foothills, handpicked fruit.
