The Orueta family, winemakers in the Central Valley since 1949, relocated their vineyard to Licantén, a cooler coastal sub-region of Curicó Valley, due to rising temperatures.
This area, since 2018 recognized as DO and located 25 km from the Pacific Ocean, was previously unknown for winemaking. The Orueta brothers have demonstrated its potential for producing age-worthy and refined cool-climate reds.
Their 110 ha estate in Licantén dedicates a third of the land to wilderness to prevent monoculture issues. The vineyards span diverse soils, including gravels and Llicorella, similar to the soil in Priorat.
