País de Comavida

Region: Guarilihue Alto, El Huaro sector
Appellation: San Javier (Maule)
Designation: DO

Site: With more than 50 thousand hectares planted, the Maule is the largest wine region in Chile and within the valley, the dry land of the Maule is one of the sectors that most characterize this area. It has a perfect water balance due to winter rains, so the vine generally grows without irrigation. This characteristic made it the place chosen by the first winegrowers more than 400 years ago. Today these vineyards, with their centuries-old roots, are a living heritage. 

The Comavida Vineyard lies at the foot of a southern slope facing slightly to the east, providing a cooler climate which leads to accelerated decomposition of the mother rock, creating excellent drainage and permeable soil. The soil is granitic with a bit of lime.

Grapes: 75% País, 25% Garnacha Tinta

Fermentation and Aging: Fermented in stainless steel, with two-week maceration. Made with native yeasts and aged in clay amphorae for 10 months.

Notes: País de Comavida was born from the deep desire of the partners to produce a wine based on country grapes. In 2020, after several attempts, they managed to access the country grape from the Comavida estate in order to make a wine that reflected the spirit and philosophy of Wildmakers.
