Winemaker Manuel Moraga Gutierrez works his old vines in the village of Yumbel, in the Bío-Bío Valley in Southern Chile.  Dry-farmed, minimally pruned, and grown organically — some of his pre-phylloxera vines are over 250 years old! 

16 hectares of vines on volcanic soils — part of Manuel’s sprawling 80 hectare farm, where the climate is excellent for growing fruit and vegetables thanks to hot days and cool, dry nights. The farm is covered in fruit and nut trees: almond, walnut, orange, fig, cherry, apple, apricot, pear, peach, and more; there are abundant vegetable gardens, as well as chickens and cattle on the farm.
