Tangy orange wine carefully crafted and produced in tiny quantities. It stays in contact with the pinkish skins of Torontel for 8 months, thus its orange hue. It is made from heritage vines of almost 80 years old located in Loncomilla, a remote sub-region of the Maule Valley in Chile.
" This is an aromatic orange wine with notes of honey, orange peel, white flowers and a potpourri of spices such as cardamom. Refined and lean, it shows a fresh palate, with concentrated and complex flavours."

“Moving away from Georgia to orange wine’s ‘new world’, this is a much more modern style of orange wine, made with the Torontel grape, which helps give it orange blossom aromatics, notes of apricot and a creamy, texture reminiscent of white chocolate. This is a great one to start with if you’re not yet sure about orange wine. Grab the last few bottles while you can - the next shipment is due at the end of November.”
Helena Nicklin (Three Drinkers)
“Pale orange-tawny. Very nicely balanced. The sort of orange wine you could take home to meet your mother. Nothing too extreme but a definite charmer. Very seductive indeed. Just the job to introduce the concept of orange wine with its smoky, neat finish. What's the Spanish equivalent of bravissimo? VGV”

“There are the spices, such as cardamom, in there — as well as a shade of orange peel. But the Naranjo retains more delicacy… with whispers of white flowers and potpourri also coming through.”

Maturana Wines
Jose Ignacio Maturana and his family started the production of unique wines that they hoped would display a sense of place and that represent a way of life. Together they created Maturana Wines, a project based on vines of more than 70 years old, which are worked completely by hand and following organic principles.
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.
