We at Betri Kaup recommend

This wine can be a great companion for oven-baked chicken or turkey.

Climate

Warm temperate climate with a Mediterranean rainfall regime and a wide range between daytime and nighttime temperatures, resulting from the proximity of the Pacific Ocean and the Andes mountains. The coastal breezes during the afternoon help to keep summer temperatures moderate.

Soil

The terroir where these vines are growing, is characterized by deep, loam-clay soils.
