The vineyard was acquired by Paul Hobbs in 2013 and maintains its original design and nature. Chañares has the unique feature of preserving various native chañar forests among its vineyards, a typical tree of this region. These forests serve as a refuge for native wildlife and a seed bank for native flora. The soil is of alluvial origin, with low organic content, rocky, good drainage, and aeration. The top layer is loamy-sandy in texture (80% sand, 15% silt, 5% clay), with organic matter from wild vegetation. The second layer, appearing between 5 and 40 cm deep, is sandy in texture, with the presence of gravel and rounded stones with calcareous sediments. The roots have significant depth and extensive lateral growth, exploring much of the soil volume. Native, low-growth, and low-water-demanding pastures have been selected, which contribute organic matter to the soil and reduce sunlight exposure on the grape clusters through ground reflection.
