Guillermo is a blend that captures the essence of the coastal terroir of the Maipo Valley. The vineyards are located in foothill soils of granitic and clay origin, which provide a base of minerality and structure. The climate, with its misty mornings and strong Pacific influence, ensures a slow and elegant ripening, key to the complexity of this wine.
74% Cabernet Franc, 17% Merlot, 5% Carmenere, 4% Petit Verdot.
This blend is a faithful reflection of the coastal terroir of the Maipo Valley, where the vineyards are planted on foothill soils with sandy and clay loam textures. The proximity to the Pacific Ocean and the Maipo River manifests itself in morning mists that moderate temperatures, allowing the grapes to reach a balanced and elegant ripeness.
In 1998, the Toro Harnecker family, renowned for its history as producers of glass bottles for the Chilean wine industry, decided to take a step further and realize a long-cherished dream: to bottle their own wine in their own bottles.
Thus was born the idea of Viña Chocalán, in the gentle hillsides of the Maipo Valley, a place that met the ideal conditions for creating wines of exceptional origin and quality.
