Maule Valley is located in the southern end of the Central Valley, and is the largest and most traditional wine region in Chile. Our wines come from four vineyards located in different areas of the valley, with different soil, climate and geography, so each variety reaches its maximum expression and reflects the unique conditions of its origin.

Fresh winds pass through the loamy soils on soft slopes and hillsides, and there is a wide thermal oscillation between the day and the night, ideal conditions for fresh, fruity and good-volume wines.
