Savoury Malbec made from slow-ripening grapes found by the sea in Licantén – one of the only four DOs recognised for its unique terroir in 2018. Viña La Ronciere is the only producer in this new DO. There, it combines traditional methods and precision techniques to make terroir-driven wines.
"A distinctive, elegant style of Malbec from this exciting wine region on Chile's Pacific coast. Dark, smooth fruit and subtle spice with fine tannins."

“Proper wine! Complex yet accessible with a lovely dry, dusty appeal and light leafiness. Well bought!”
Viña La Ronciere was founded in 1949, but only much later in 2017 did they started their venture at Idahue Estate. This project pioneered grape growing in cooler Licanten, a coastal sub-region of Curico Valley, in view of the changing climate.
The quality and availability of Chilean wines have flourished in the last twenty years. While wine consumers worldwide enjoy the easy-drinking charm of Chile’s inexpensive fruity wines, Chile’s wine producers have higher aspirations too, to make stylish, complex wines expressive of their unique origins, wines with a tangible ‘sense of place’, a notion the Europeans call terroir.
