Description

Chak means "together, with one another" in the language of the Mapuche Indians, the indigenous people of Chile. And this is precisely the guiding principle of winemaker Daniel Wiederkehr: to combine European elegance and Chilean power and spice in an exceptional wine. "The magnificent, over 25-year-old Syrah vines, the ideal climate and the mineral-rich soils offer me the best possible conditions for this."
