Our Project
Based in the Itata and Bío Bío valleys of Chile, we are dedicated to producing natural wines that exemplify the unique terroir. We collaborate with local growers who cultivate small, century-old plots of País, Cinsault, and Moscatel de Alejandría. We are committed to the principles of fair trade and mutual support, working closely with these growers to facilitate their transition to organic farming practices while ensuring equitable returns for their grapes. Our mission is to positively impact the region by supporting dedicated farmers, engaging directly in vineyard operations, and contributing to the development of a self- sustaining local economy. In the cellar, we believe in minimal intervention, allowing the grapes to express themselves naturally. All fermentations take place with native yeasts, our wines are never filtered, we do not do temperature control, and sulfur is used sparingly, only at bottling. Through our wines, we seek to share our passion, our journey, and the deep connection we feel to this land and its people.
About Us.
Paula earned her degree in agronomy from the Universidad de Chile and further advanced her expertise in viticulture at the University of Adelaide in Australia. Throughout her career, she has collaborated with winemakers across Australia, Chile, and California, gaining a comprehensive understanding of diverse winemaking practices. Upon returning to Chile in 2020, Paula joined forces with her husband, Arnaldo—who brings a unique perspective as a Cuban-born artist—to launch their winemaking venture. United by a shared vision of creativity and independence, they established a brand dedicated to crafting wines that reflect both passion and innovation. Based at their winery in Santa Juana, Bío Bío, their strategic objectives include expanding production capacity and acquiring vineyards to recover. Committed to supporting the regional community, they actively seek to build lasting relationships with local, small-scale grape growers while fostering organic and sustainable farming practices that contribute to a resilient local economy.

These venerable vines, emblematic of the resilient Itata vines, embody nature’s enduring strength and freedom.

Representing the feminine spirit of nature, they remind us that true power resides beyond our control. A Mapuche pin—traditionally worn by the Toqui—symbolizes their authority, and a discreet tattoo of Cuba honors Arnaldo’s heritage.

On this label, we sought to capture the historical heritage of the Itata Valley. In years past, the Itata River served as a vital conduit, transporting wine pipas—400‐liter barrels—by raft to the principal coal industry ports of Lota and Coronel. This legacy not only speaks to the vast quantities of wine moved along these ancient waterways but also to the rich tapestry of experiences and tradition that have shaped the local community over generations.

The name honors the hidden vineyards of the Bío Bío Valley. Our label features an illustration of a loom inspired by a genuine one my mother gifted me and reinterpreted by our art designer, Ignacia, from the stories Arnaldo and I shared about these indomitable vineyards. The valley’s untamed character captivated us—nestled among hills and ravines, the vineyards lie partly concealed by eucalyptus and pine forests, where resilient vines reclaim land as vintners work to revive abandoned sites. A playful detail shows a couple of pines, subtly chiding the vines for their prominence. The label’s Cuban touch comes from its name, drawn from a song by Arnaldo’s troubadour cousin that celebrates finding love among the green of the forest.

This sparkling rosé is the result of a collaborative
effort between Paula and winemaker Patricia Gaete. Inspired by the unique qualities of Itata Cinsault, they envisioned a wine that is easy to drink - crafted with delicate bubbles and a soft, refreshing palate. Named to capture its distinctive character, this wine is offered in a convenient 330 ml format, perfectly suited for occasions when a full bottle isn't necessary.
