Aconcagua Costa

Aconcagua Costa

Aconcagua Costa is a sub-region of Chile's Aconcagua DO, occupying the coastal zone where the Pacific Ocean exerts a dominant influence. Persistent morning fog and cool ocean winds hold temperatures low relative to the inland Aconcagua Valley. The result is a cool-climate profile within a traditionally warm DO, favouring aromatic whites and delicate Pinot Noir rather than the heavier reds of the valley floor.
