Come check out some of our favorite natural wines of Chile, featuring wines from Roberto Henríquez (Bio Bio), Mingaco (Itata) and Gonzalez Bastias (Maule). We'll be featuring a 9 wine lineup of wines from three of our favorite portfolios, will have some snacks to nibble on and will share tales from our recent trip to Chile!
Roberto Henríquez is a first-generation winemaker - classically trained in agronomy and enology at the University of Concepción. He farms his own País, Semillon & Cinsault vines (and more!) organically and biodynamically - some vines are 200+ years old!! - and is insanely connected to the Chilean terroir. He follows traditional winemaking methods with little to no intervention, and with vines stretching two centuries deep into soils of mixed volcanic and red clay, there's layers of flavor here unlike any wine you've likely ever tried.

Daniela De Pablo, Pablo Pedreros, and their children Luan and Mayra are the family behind Mingaco, a regenerative farm and winery in the village of Checura along the Itata river. They work with old vines of Moscatel (Muscat of Alexandria, to be specific), Cinsault, and Pais, some of the traditional varieties that have been present in Itata for many hundreds of years. Their Moscatel is beautiful, it is one of the most fragrant and complex aromatic wine we've ever tasted!
We are so happy to host three importer friends who will be here to pour and talk all things Chile! Come say hi to Alex Powar (T. Edward Wines), Jehan Hakimian (Jose Pastor Selections) and Cory Gowan (Mission Wine Co.), listen to an all vinyl South American set and taste the natural wines of Chile!
