José Luis Gómez Bastías represents the 5th generation of his family cultivating vineyards in the Maule River’s south bank, 44km inland from the Pacific.
They preserve 200-year-old País bush vines instead of replacing them with popular international varieties. They adhere to traditional farming and winemaking practices, emphasizing music, food, and a philosophy of respecting nature. Their four hectares of vineyards coexist with fruit trees and wildlife, utilizing sheep for grass control and natural fertilization. José Luis met agronomist Daniela Lorenzo in 2013, and together they now manage the vineyards and winery.
Their aim is to sustainably live and work while preserving the land’s history and traditions. The project is expanding, with improvements to vineyards and new site plantings, all while maintaining ancestral methods.
