Chile’s major earthquake in 2010 was catastrophic for much of the wine industry. Like so many others, Jose Ignacio Maturana saw his family house and vineyards destroyed by the quake. As a result, he was forced to rebuild his business, and took the decision to focus on premium wines that would reflect their terroir. With that in mind, José Ignacio, former chief winemaker at renowned quality-focused winery Casa Silva, travelled to Burgundy in 2011 to make wine during the Chilean winter. There, he immersed himself in the techniques used in the region, aiming to understand from within how small producers were working traditionally to make high-end wines.
