Viña Kaune arose from the dream of developing a Cabernet Sauvignon for personal consumption, but one that would stand out from other wines of the same strain due to its colour, structure and complexity.

To produce this wine we required a special terroir, which would provide the necessary conditions for growing quality grapes. In this search, and almost by chance, we discovered Alto de Caone (“manar de agua”), a rural town in the commune of Hualañe in the Mataquito Valley, an area with a long-standing agricultural and wine-growing tradition on a small scale, but It is very difficult to access and there is less and less rainfall, which is why it has been gradually abandoned over the years by farmers in search of land that is easier to harvest.

Farming in Caone was an odyssey, however, the place met the necessary conditions to develop the Cabernet we were looking for: being a hydrographic basin in the coastal dryland, it had a wide temperature range between day and night, and almost zero rainfall in summer, which would allow us to develop a grape with a thick cuticle, great color and a complete ripening process until harvest. The terroir was perfect and in 2015 we planted our first vine, excited that we would get the wine we were looking for.

The process was not easy, the planting on the rocky slope, the scarce local labor for the crops and a growing drought, which even forced us not to produce grapes for some years and only save the vines, led us to doubt the project, but our obstinacy to develop the Cabernet Sauvignon we were looking for was greater, so we persisted in the crusade.

The first fruit of our effort was obtained in 2019, when we bottled 617 bottles of our Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva del Directorio, the result was what we dreamed of, a high-quality wine, deep color, intense flavor, notes of wood and great persistence on the palate. , as we like it in Kaune.

The rest is history...
