About the winemaker

"During my internships, I worked throughout the country. At the end of my studies and internships, I truly understood the diversity of my home country. There are so many differences in every square meter in Chile. That's why I started my own venture, to let that diversity of Chile shine through in my vineyards.”

93/100 punten - Robert Parker

"The multi-grape, multi-location red blend 2013 Facundo comes from different valleys and grapes: Maule, Itata and Colchagua containing Carignan, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. I found it superbly balanced, nuanced and insinuating, with a polished mouthfeel and very fine tannins. It's marked by the Carignan base, and the other grapes provide texture and acidity. It comes through as a very elegant yet powerful blend. This is a very fine vintage for this bottling. 12.873 bottles produced." (2013 vintage)

9/10 punten - Harold Hamersma - De Grote Hamersma 2019

"Druivenkwartetten. Felipe Garcia verbouwt druiven in verschillende valleien: Colchagua, Itata en Maule. In deze blend speelt carignan de hoofdrol. Opvallend, want die krijgt-ie niet vaak in Chili ‘where King Cab rules’. Opwindend, dat zachte, rijpe, mohairachtige rode fruit dat een ruggengraatje heeft gekregen van donkere cabernetcassis, leafyness van cabernet franc en de viooltjes van de petit verdot. Zachtjes zoemend powerhouse. Carignan-fans doen vooral ook de Vigno van deze producent aan." (2015 vintage)

Colchagua, Itata, Maule, Chili

Four different grape varieties are used for this Facundo. Carignan (39%) and cabernet franc (12%) come from the Maule Valley, specifically Loncomilla, a tributary. The carignan vines are 54 years old, and the vineyards are not irrigated, giving the wine a lot of concentration. The cabernet sauvignon (38%) comes from the Itata Valley, where the soil is mostly granite, providing a fresh touch to the wine. Petit verdot makes up 11% of the blend and comes from the Colchagua valley, contributing to the wine's deep color. The Facundo was aged for 24 months in French oak barrels.
