Varieties for wine production were brought from France in the XIX century. These are traditional for Bordeaux: Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Merlot and Carmenère.
The vines took root on the fertile Chilean soils and began to produce excellent yields.
At first, the drinks were produced for sale within the country, but over time, the scale of production grew, which led to a natural entry into foreign markets.

The company practices classical processing methods in the production of wines:
Manual harvesting of raw materials when they reach a high degree of maturity.

Aging in oak barrels or neutral containers (the period depends on the category of the beverage).
Corking with natural cork.
