Wines
Casa de Uco is producing single vineyard wines from its own estate. The philosophy is to produce wines which express the authenticity of its terroir. Chilean geologist Pedro Parra also has been working in order to have a complete study of the soils and have a better understanding of the different styles of wine you can produce in the estate. The heterogeneous soils of the estate makes plot and micro-plot selection very important. Stony soils and sandy soils are fermented in different vats in order to be able to identify the diverse styles of wine, which the soils will deliver.
Oak is used as a secondary element and it is preferred very light oak toast and even non-toasted barrels to preserve the authenticity of the fruit.
“For many years we have developed the expertise producing premium wines, so now we want to advise wine lovers who may not be wine professionals. Our private vineyard project was created for wine enthusiasts to get hands-on experience making their own wine. They can choose how much to become involved in the process, from the beginning stages of planting their grapes and working alongside our expert agronomists and enologists, to designing their personal wine labels. It’s all about living the wine culture lifestyle with Casa de Uco.”
