    Description

    Our cooperative founded in 2004 and currently made up of 20 small producers from five communes in the province of Colchagua, Nancagua, Santa Cruz, Palmilla, Peralillo.

    The small producers of Colchagua are a living heritage of one of the most important wine valleys in the world, improving the competitiveness and profitability of artisanal wines is the objective that has allowed Colchagua to become one of the most diverse destinations in its oenological offer.

    This is what differentiates us from the world, we are small producers, people who have worked the land together with our family and neighbors, seeking to care for the environment and our rural community, under these principles of fair trade we want to contribute to the development of our wines.

    Our history will be remembered for having transformed small wine grape producers into wine producers, rescuing their traditions and local culture, achieving national and international awards with this work, giving dignity and recognizing the small producers of Colchagua.
