Parcels / Vinos de parcela

What is a parcel?

When we began looking for fruit in the Maule we wanted to experiment. We began sourcing fruit from different small parcels generally from farmers who worked with a horse and plough. We made each wine separately to see how the soils and climates expressed themselves differently. They did-- very differently, so we decided not to blend them and instead built our portfolio [and company] upon these parcels : Las Higueras, Bagual, Sauzal,

Truquilemu, Portezuelo... Today we make wines from 11 different parcels some as small as 18oo +/- bottles and others as large as 75oo +/- per vintage. They range from about  .6 Hectare to 1.9 hectares.

What is a lot?

A lot is genuine Lot ie the bottling of the vintage of one particular parcel. Ej. Sauzal Vineyard, 2019 was Lot 105. We began bottling wine in 2001 and we have numbered each bottling since then with a lot number: Lot 1, Lot 2, Lot 3 and so on. Twenty years later one of our latest releases is Sauzal Lot 105 -- that is to say the 105th bottling we have done since we began in 2001.

To make things simpler each parcel always ends in the same digit every year. Ej.  Sauzal always ends in a 5.
