Wine Description

The cool climate vineyard that belongs to Laura and her sister Adrianna Catena feels like paradise itself to Laura. It is lined by trees and fruit orchards, with majestic views of the Andes. Inside the 12 Hectare vineyard is a little house with two tiny bedrooms and a kitchen, where Laura dreams of spending a whole month reading books - Laura's version of paradise. The little house is affectionately named Chateau Laura.

Acclaim
“Elegant with a beautifully aromatic nose, on the palate the wine has sandy tannins with a little grip and a long lingering finish.”
— Napa Valley Register, Mar 2020
“Made from grapes grown in the Alto Gualtallary region. With a suggested retail price of $350, it occupies air as rarefied as anything the Andes has to offer.”
— Oregon Live, Mar 2020
