Description
Currently, the town of Alcohuaz has 2 high altitude vineyards, one specializing in reds and the other in whites and late harvest. The first and highest is Viñedos de Alcohuaz, one of the 100 best vineyards in the world, in the hands of the winemaker Marcelo Retamal, they create high-end reds, with great personality and character. And on the other hand, we have Viñedo Piuquenes, specializing in late harvest and white wine, where the Pedro Jimenez strain stands out (traditionally used to make Piscos).
