Our wines are one hundred percent estate-grown in Maipo Valley, one of Chile’s most celebrated appellations. The wines are handcrafted following a low-intervention style. We focus on terroir expression and balance
After being rediscovered in 1994, the Carmenere winemaking process needed to be redesigned to express the distinct character of this decades-long misunderstood grape. Alvaro Espinoza was lucky to be involved in this new winemaking process during his previous position at Carmen Vineyards. Now, after more than 25 years, we have achieved mastery of this humble variety through our Pura Fe! It is a wine with great expression, but at the same time, fresh, elegant, and easy to enjoy.

One of our favorite regions, the Rhone Valley in France, inspired this blend. Our goal was to achieve that complexity while also expressing our Maipo terroir. Our Garnacha vines grow in alluvial basalt rocks, once part of the Inca River, creating layers of aromatics, hints of fresh fruit, and floral notes. With approximately 30% Syrah added, the wine is lifted with dark berry notes and a medium body structure.

The moon, just like the sun, has a deep relationship with organic and biological energies. Ancient farmers knew this and followed its natural rhythms to work the land for thousands of years without chemical additions. Kuyen, Mapuche for "moon," is our tribute to these wise people and their ancient methods, forgotten by conventional agriculture. This high-voltage red has great fruit expression with earth notes and spice on the finish. An enticing complexity refreshes the palate sip after sip and has excellent potential for cellaring.

The fruit comes from our estate’s best block, Block 7. (Planted in 2003). The grapes are hand- picked and gently fermented with only the naturally occurring yeast. To bring you the pure and most honest expression of this emblematic variety and the noble volcanic soils of the Maipo Mountain, we age this wine exclusively in egg- shaped concrete tanks.
