The Producer
Viña La Ronciere
Breaking with the established rules to find one's own identity meant a 4-year search through different valleys and areas of Chile, until finally, and after a long journey, La Ronciere found what they were looking for... The coast of the Curicó Valley, in the Licantén commune, revealed as a dream place for viticulture. Close to the banks of the Mataquito River and about 25 kilometers from the sea, between pronounced hills of the ancient coastal mountain range, a mosaic of different types of metamorphic soils unfolds, such as Licorellas, Shales, Maicillo and some clay loam sectors. The conjunction of such varied elements make this place a true "Microclimate", which meant that it was recognized as a new geographical denomination for winegrowing in Chile, being until now the only vineyard established in this place.

Chile Central Valley DO
The Central Valley concentrates most of the wine production of Chile. It is subdivided into four smaller regions coinciding with river valleys, including the Maipo, Rapel, Curicó and Maule valleys. And sub-zones within each of these valleys have been further included, such as the Colchagua and Cachapoal Valleys in the Rapel Valley, or Licantén in the Curicó valley. Most recently a number of smaller sub-zones inside the sub-zones have been identified according to specific unique traits, such as the Lolol DO and the Apalta Valley DO in the Colchagua Valley, very special sites that we will visit in this documentary.
