The group
Around the year 2000, a small group of five agriculturalists, encouraged by the success achieved by Felipe de Solminihac, began the plantacion of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. Aided by the project FAT, led by the oenologist Jorge Leiva and the agricultural engineer Oriana Soto and working with the Agraria Consultancy, this has led to the creation of this association of agriculturalists who produce the southernmost wines both in Chile and in South America also.
These wines although made in small quantities, are unique and vary from what is offered usually by the Chilean wine industry, characterized as they are by their individual levels of acidity, intense fruity notes that grant the wines a freshness without equal, that can only be attained in colder, wetter climates, and in the lands that are situated on the borders of the thousands of glacial moraines, loosened by the incessant activity of the Llaima volcano, which, situated right in the middle of the Andes mountain range, has been responsible for the composition of the soils in the area.
