Viñateros Bravos is a wine producer in Itata Valley, Chile. LeMieux Wine Co. distributes Viñateros Bravos wines to licensed restaurants, bars and retailers in Michigan.
Estate
Leonardo Erazo works in the Guarilihue area of Chile's Itata Valley, the site of the first Spanish Conquistador settlements in the sixteenth century. Ancient bush vines of País, 150 to 300 years old, grow dry-farmed on pink and orange Cretaceous granite. Some younger volcanic soils in the mix. Organic and biodynamic. Fermentation happens in concrete eggs, amphoras, large wood vats, and food-grade polymer containers. Pressed on a vertical wooden press.
Wines
País is the project's heart, "Volcánico" from volcanic soils, "Granítico" from granite. Cinsault from old plantings adds breadth. "Pipeño" is the liter-format daily wine. Single-vineyard cuvées "Las Curvas" and "El Túnel" are produced from individual old parcels.
