Humo Blanco on the vineyard.
If you look carefully at the photograph on the left, above the vineyard, you can see a white cloud.
This white cloud is very typical of the area of Lolol. In Chileno, it is called Humo Blanco (white cloud).
Not only it gives magical lights to the mountains but it is the visible part of what makes the terroir of the vineyard so unique.
The fresh air of the Pacific ocean ( 30 km from the Hacienda) meets the climate of the valley. The difference of temperature between the two climates gives birth to this cloud. This white cloud can be seen each morning on the vineyard.
