Trapi del Bueno winery and vineyard is the passion project of two life-long friends, winemaker Rodrigo Romero and agronomist Luis Moller. With a small production and 14 hectares of vines planted in the coastal hills of Osorno, this is true cool climate Chile.
Trapi del Bueno produces ‘handmade’ Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc, and a rather delicious sparkling wine.
Coteaux de Trumao winery is a boutique producer in the Río Bueno valley in Chilean Patagonia producing excellent Cruchon Pinot Noir. A natural wine producer, the philosophy of Coteaux de Trumao is minimum intervention and allowing the cool climate terroir to express itself in their bright, crunchy and vibrant Pinot Noir and also their delicate Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Gris, Pinot Gris, Viognier and Chardonnay blend.
William Fèvre winery in Alto Maipo is the sister winery of the William Fèvre wine production in Chablis, France. In William Fèvre Chile, wines don’t only come from Maipo (where they have almost 100 hectares planted) but also much further down south in Malleco where they have 11 hectares of vines planted. Espino, Chacai and The Franq Rouge come from Maipo, and Little Quino comes from Malleco.
Los Confines is a wine made from old Moscatel vines which are inside a prison in Malleco, southern Chile. Yes – inside a prison. As part of a social responsibility program to train the incarcerated in new professions, VICAP (Viñas Capitán Pastene) winery owners Raúl Narvaez Reyes and Juan Pablo Lepín Leonelli spend time training the prisoners on how to tend the vineyard from pruning through to harvest. The vineyard inside the prison is of Moscatel vines over 100 years old. VICAP is also set to produce a Syrah and Sangiovese.
