On our labels, you see precious animals of Georgians fauna that are at risk of extinction. While drinking our wine made in an archaic way and looking at these mysterious animals you wonder who you are and why you are here. The wine is made in a kvevri (a pitcher) according to the ancient Georgian traditional method, with the involvement of solely natural yeasts in the fermentation. - Ocho Wine

Where The Wines Come From

Colchagua Valley

The Colchagua Valley, nestled in the heart of Chile's Central Valley, is renowned for its exceptional wines and stunning landscapes. In recent years, the region has embraced natural winemaking, adding a modern twist to its traditional approach. With its Mediterranean climate and diverse soils, including clay, granite, and alluvial deposits, Colchagua offers an ideal terroir for sustainable viticulture. Natural winemakers in the region prioritize organic and biodynamic farming methods, cultivating a variety of grape varieties such as Carmenère, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah with minimal intervention. By eschewing chemical additives and focusing on natural fermentation, they produce wines that reflect the region's unique character. Colchagua Valley's natural wines are known for their purity, freshness, and expression of fruit flavors, with Carmenère offering rich dark fruit and spice, Cabernet Sauvignon showcasing bold tannins and blackberry notes, and Syrah presenting peppery aromatics and velvety texture. As the demand for authentic and terroir-driven wines continues to grow, Colchagua Valley remains a key player in the natural wine movement, offering a taste of Chile's rich winemaking heritage and commitment to quality with every bottle.
