Palo Alto, meaning "Tall Tree" is named for the massive trees that tower over this estate's vineyards in the Maule Valle in Chile. Héctor Urzúa, winemaker of Palo Alto, has dedicated over 20 years searching for the best vineyards within Chile and has found the premium conditions for each of these varieties in specific regions within Chile’s famed Maule Valley. The winery's vineyards are gently caressed by a Mediterranean climate with an extended dry season and very sunny days. Palo Alto Reserve, a red cuvee, and a white Sauvignon Blanc are produced here and showcase the a true expression of the generous terrior. (Palo Alto Website)
