Roberto Henríquez's journey in winemaking began with studies in agronomy and enology at the University of Concepción. His path led him across the globe, collaborating with winemakers in Canada, South Africa, and culminating in the Loire Valley alongside Rene Mosse. Under Mosse's tutelage, Roberto underwent a transformative shift towards organic and biodynamic farming practices. Employing carbonic maceration and aging in old Rauli wood barrels, his wines emerge as light-bodied, translucent, yet richly nuanced expressions of character.

Eggplant parm or a big ol’ plate of lasagna, smashburger, grilled portobellos, or Thanksgiving leftovers. This wine isn’t picky. It just wants to hang.

Right off the bat, you get this lifted, juicy burst—wild berries, crushed violets, a little black tea edge and this almost savory note that keeps pulling you back in (like that one moody song you always put on repeat). The texture? Dreamy. It’s got that silky-soft grip, like suede on your tongue, with just enough wildness to keep things exciting. Finishes like a forest breeze after rain. It's soulful, not showy. Unexpected, yet totally familiar.
