Santiago Achurra Larrain founded the winery in 1961 and

The vineyards are located in the Curico Valley, where a mild Mediterranean-like climate and varied soils offer superb conditions for growing many different varieties. Long, dry summers with radiant days and cool nights help the grapes attain the maximum potential. Winemaking is led by Benoit Fitte, who left his native France
