Description

Lovely, brilliant golden yellow robe. The nose offers a range of subtle aromas of peach, apricot, citrus, butter and toast. The mouth is balanced, fresh, full-bodied and long. This wine will spirit you to this singular location at once beautiful, natural and harmonious from which it comes.

The Colchagua Valley is one of the most important and active wine producing regions in Chile. These vines are planted in a fabulous setting renowned for its biodiversity along the banks of the Tinguiririca River in the middle of the estate, where olive, citrus, Chile coco palm, magnolia, monkey puzzle and cedar trees flourish. 

The Las Niñas vineyard is firmly rooted in Apalta, in the heart of Colchagua. It has been certified organic since 2017. To combat weeds naturally before the vines start to grow, they use sheep. The partial weed control done by the animals helps to retain humidity in the soil, recycle nutritive elements and prevent erosion. In turn, sheep droppings provide natural fertiliser for the plants.
