WINERY
The winery
produces a miniscule 2000 cases annually, of which a small amount is
imported by Schneider Selections.
The Tabontinaja Vineyards grow several varieties: Cabernet Franc,
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Carmenere, Carignan, Malbec and Syrah. These
are grafted onto century old Mission grapes as roostock which
contributes greatly to the caracter and terroir.
The base of great wines are the grapes. That´s why our work is
intimately related to the vines, which are handled manually and has
earned us ISO 14001 certification in our production. We study each
different block individually to develop and creat great wines.

wines come from limited areas, and the Loncomilla Valley with its soft
hills stretching to the Coastal Mountains, creates unique conditions for
red wine viticulte using the concept of dry farming, where the rain is
