Viña Montes – WINE GRAPE


In September 2021, Viña Montes requested us to supply a Frost Control System for a final extension of 11.9 hectares of grapevine planted in a 1.8 x 1-meter framework, located in a section of the Chequén estate, in the commune of Marchigüe, O’Higgins Region.

After conducting the hydraulic engineering analysis (irrigation system, water sources, etc.), we proposed an arrangement of Rocío Plus® Kits - 360° emission with a radius of 3.5 meters, within a 6.0 x 5.4-meter framework, regulated by a 35-liter/hour self-compensating dripper. This resulted in a precipitation of 1.08 mm/hour, equivalent to 3.0 liters/second/hectare and 35 liters/second for the total area of 11.9 hectares.

In addition to evaluating storage capacity to sustain consumption for frost events of the season, the installation included the setup of PVC stakes fixed to the central support with clamps, and the installation of new 16 mm polyethylene pipes installed every three rows.
