Description
My husband and I are a mixed Malaysian couple who have a small organic vineyard in the wine region of Colchagua valley in Chile. We are an organic operation still in the early stages. We produce our own wine on site and also have an organic vegetable garden and small fruit orchard.
We are slowly expanding, propagating and planting more.
We have a lot of pets, 4 dogs and 4 cats which are very important to us and are very much a part of the family.
