--------THE PRODUCER--------

Millaman Winery

José Canepa, an Italian immigrant, who purchased the Hacienda El Condor estate in 1946 starting the dream of producing the best wines of Curicó Valley. In 1998 the desire to expand and perpetuate the wine tradition through his three daughters led to the creation of a new winery based on the Hacienda, giving rise to Millaman Wines.

 

--------THE GRAPE--------

Primitivo/Zinfandel

Confusingly Primitivo and Zinfandel are the same grape. As for why they have such wildly different names is because it has had long histories in two main countries, and an even longer history in its historical home of Croatia where it is known as Tribidrag, without anyone knowing they were the same grape until recent DNA testing proved they were. 

 

--------THE REGION--------

Chile

Chile is best known for its savoury and spicy reds made from Carmenere, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon yet it is moving in an exciting direction of late with its crisp Semillons, Chardonnays and Sauvignon Blancs.
