Description

Chak stands for together, jointly in the language of the Mapuche Indians, the native inhabitants of Chile. 2020 was a very typical wine-year for Chile: hot days and comfortable nights, delightfully cooled by the fresh evening breeze from the nearby Pacific Ocean, resulting in the perfect ripening of our healthy grapes. The 37'500 self-rooted vines on our 6 hectares are over 80 years old, rugged and full of power. Blessed with our perfect climate and the ideal terroir, rich of minerals which the waters have carried over centuries from the Andean mountains, are the best prerequisites for the production of my extraordinarily rich and harmonious wines.
