ABOUT THIS WINE
Lomas Coloradas is a single-parcel (Vino de Parcela) wine crafted by the highly acclaimed Chilean winemaker Ana María Cumsille. Located in the historic Ránquil sub-region of the southern Itata Valley, this wine is a tribute to the region's ancient viticultural heritage. Cumsille, renowned for her work at prestigious estates like Altaïr, focuses here on small-scale, terroir-driven expressions. The vines are dry-farmed, ungrafted, and grown on the rolling, reddish granitic hillsides of the Coastal Range, which impart a distinct mineral character to the wine.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Lomas Coloradas emphasizes minimal intervention to preserve the purity of the old-vine fruit. Grapes are hand-harvested from selected parcels in Ránquil. Fermentation is carried out using native yeasts in small vessels to maintain temperature control and gentle extraction. The wine is aged in neutral oak barrels and foudres, allowing the rustic tannins of the Carignan grape to soften naturally without masking the vibrant fruit and granitic minerality with dominant new oak flavors.
