Lauca wines is a 4 generation family owned vineyards located in Maule Valley in Chile. Lauca as family focus on the energies to fully explore each of these micro-terroirs that Maule valley offers, enabling us to understand in detail the capabilities of each unique piece of land. This intimate knowledge allows them to select the perfect grape variety for each individual location.
Maule Valley’s the Mediterranean climate, with a wide temperature range created by warm days and cold nights in combination with our low- production vineyard management approach yields grapes of high quality and strength. These characteristics translate into wines of great fruitiness, intensity, and complexity that are difficult to find in other wine growing regions throughout the world.
The care and dedication that they apply in working our vineyards produces wines that are renowned the world over. Harvest after harvest, Lauca carefully study all the variables involved in all production processes in their ongoing efforts to perfect their wines.
Lauca grapes are harvested at the precise moment of maturity to offer mature round tannins. They favor manually picking the grapes in the early morning to preserve their freshness.
Once the grapes arrive in the Winery they undertake a meticulous selection from the grape clusters.
Lauca wines philosophy of doing things well, with respect for the environment and their people, has translated into high-quality wines that are appreciated and sought out around the world.
