In a Nutshell Mountain grown in the Maipo in Pirque approximately 6oo mts – Vineyard planted in the 1980´s House note Nose of crushed raspberries and flowers with a touch of bay leaf. Pureness of fruit. Full body, round and silky tannins and a tantalizing freshness and length. A fab wine. About 20 barrels made

In a Nutshell – a single vineyard parcel from Isla  Maipo Valley – at 946 metres above the sea this vineyard an extreme example of Cab Sauv in Alto Maipo Andes – Round stones in alluvial soils combined with altitude make for a fresh wine with restrained fine almost creamy tannins. House note Vivid ruby.

In a Nutshell – In these times this unexpected delight has become a moniker for making a more complete and flavourful use of wonderful ingredients in the kitchen or on the farm. – Sometimes in the cellar a particular barrel simply does not fit with the others. It’s delicious but it is too hard– unready.

In a Nutshell 3 farms 1 wine : Single Ferment Series wines include fruit from more than one parcel or vineyard site and are (co-fermented) ¨in one singular ferment ¨. All of the fruit does not enter the tank at same time. When each vineyard is ready, we simply stack on top of the fermenting

In a Nutshell Phoenix is sourced from various families who form a part of our working team. It has become a kind of convoy picking day with small quantities picked in various sites. In this way we insure that more families benefit from the proper price paid for these grapes. House note This wine will

In a Nutshell Today’s wine business would have the small modernise: spray instead of cultivate, scale instead of focus, above all reduce the cost of labour. But it’s the labour that unlocks the flavour of the wisdom of farming passed down through the ages. We call it fieldcraft. Just imagine old vineyards being shunned, not

In a Nutshell – We make three wines based upon Cariñena / Carignan in Truqui – Vigno is from a section further down along the creek – We work this small bit with a grower partner as we have done for a decade now – Near the creek this section has terrific drainage and thus

In a Nutshell The vineyard is next the Perquilauquen River which flows from the Coastal Range East towards the Andes and creates a very unique terroir that is at once alluvial and granitic– very rare passes through old Calivoro bringing granitic silt. This vineyard has two deep esteros on each side that lend it terrific

In a Nutshell – Over 12 harvests in Truqui two distinct personalities emerged: now 2 wines – Our Truquilemu V. is now fermented with more whole clusters – and Syrah in the blend lends helps round things out and lends texture – Treating two pieces of the vineyard differently has highlighted 2 distinct personalities –

In a Nutshell – 1 of 12 wines we make from single parcels – Singular wine made from a small parcel with ancestral farming by hand and horse of the Secano Interior – Grower / partner: Solar family – This wine is a tribute to the resilience of the ploughmen farmers of the Maule who

In a Nutshell – Over the last 10 harvests in Sauzal the wine has changed its varietal composition. – First it was all cariñena, then we added Garnacha & Monsatrell and then the Garnacha from a second section until in 2018 there is equal parts Garnacha and Cariñena. – With 2018 Sauzal V. has had

In a Nutshell We began growing Cab Sauv on the banks of the Perquilauquen River in 2014 but it was heavyset / husky / large boned. So ,we began to search for something more peculiar that was at once fresher and more fine boned. We experimented in 2017-8 but we did not release the wines

In a Nutshell The wonders of decomposed granite soils and ancestral farming A brooder– florality and complexity House note Taut, tangy and refreshing, with plenty of freshness and minerality, this is a tight, stony, blackfruited number with top notes of fennel and thyme, a hint of bacon and long, focused finish.

In a Nutshell Truquilemu is perhaps the freshest corner of the Maule high on the Coastal Range of mountains where reds just manage to ripen. This wine is cut earlier than the regular Truquilemu V. red from a corner of the vineyard with a different subsoil – access to more water hence greater yields. We

In a Nutshell We have made Las Higueras Cab Franc since 2013. It was sourced from a corner of a larger 8 hectares vineyard of 1oo+ year old Cab Franc. In this particular corner the cables and posts of the rows had mostly fallen down (the owners had used these bits to repair the structure

In a Nutshell Mountain Grown single vineyard parcel from San Juan de Pirque in Maipo Valley – at 946 metres above the sea this vineyard an extreme example of Cab Sauv in Alto Maipo Andes – Round stones in alluvial soils combined with altitude make for a fresh wine with restrained fine almost creamy tannins.

In a Nutshell Fermenting pieces of the vineyard separately over many years two distinct personalities emerged. We have bottled them separately since 2018. Cru is born a more sturdy wine with extra stuffing and more tension. She benefits from a kind of buttressing effect that more liberal inclusion of stems produces. House note Still young

In a Nutshell – A winery was making País in Portezuelo in 1548. (documented) – Cab Sauv (cross of CF & SB) is documented from 1763 (near Bordeaux) – The difference: 1763 – 1548 = 215 thus: 215 yrs before Cabernet Single Ferment Series wines include fruit from more than one parcel or vineyard site
