Our pisco is made entirely from grapes irrigated by water flowing down from Andes glaciers. A daily dose of sea-breeze bringing rich ocean-minerals to the vineyards. No sugar, no sulfites, not even water added. Distilled to proof. In effect, one of the purest distillates in the world.
The story of Rompe Mar begins in Peru, in the Lunahuaná Valley, nestled between the Andes Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. This valley is the birthplace of our pisco and the name it carries.
“Rompe Mar” translates to “breaks the sea” in Spanish, paying homage to the waves driven by the Humboldt ocean current that crash almost against the rocky walls of this majestic mountain range, imparting a slight sea spray to our grapes.
Our grapes are cultivated in Lunahuaná, one of the three valleys in the world that possesses and cultivates all eight varieties of pisco. Perched at 800 meters in the Andes, our valley benefits from a thermal amplitude that enhances aromas and tannins. The rocky and alluvial soil imparts a pronounced mineral profile to the vineyards irrigated with nutrient-rich glacier water.
