    Description

    We are a french-chilean couple working in the wine for 40 years on the Colchagua Valley.
    Our organisation wants a fresh air within a concentrated and conservative Chilean industry. Our wines are focused on quality. We are natural wine of Colchagua -Each wine is handcrafted to create an image, a history of the grape variety or the blend and the terroir from which it comes.
    Human intervention and the addition of sulphites are reduced as little as possible. Everything is done by gravity without pumping. In a world that has fallen into the excesses of homogenization, diversity and personality must be the crucial point.
    They aim to maintain a human size, to promote the value of the authentic and respect for origin with the strength of the natural. Each harvest of each wine is designed to reflect a unique and original view of the Colchagua terroir

    Passionate amateurs who share their enthusiasm for natural, free and liberated wines.
    Simplicity, sometimes perceived as a form of naivety or lightness, becomes once combined with artisanal expertise a major asset.
    Attention to detail, purity and minimalism are all terms that form the basis of our brand's philosophy.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We are part of a small city in heart of the Cochagua Valley with many varied and interesting stories to tell between us. However, we are united by our joie de vivre and love of wine.
    Visitors can expect to learn about winemaking and Chilean country living (talking to locals, visiting the market).
    Otherwise, many bodegas accomodate tourism throughout the year.
    Overall, this is something we hope to benefit equally from and hope you have a great time!

    We also have 3 dogs, so if you're not a pet person, we're definitely not the place for you. The dogs are extremely friendly and will follow you around all day!
