We purchased the fourteen-hectare Tequel Vineyard property in 2008 and planted the vineyard between 2010 and 2011, using traditional farming techniques still common in the region, in particular dry farming and head training. The vineyard is located about 15 kilometres south of Cauquenes in the Maule Region of Chile and 42 kilometres from the Pacific Ocean, providing a cooling influence. The gently rolling hills of the area have deep red clay soils of granitic origin. The Tempranillo and Petite Sirah were planted in 2010 based on the crazy theory that vines are hardy plants that can live on their own, without pampering drip irrigation or a trellis system. This approach was inspired by the original País vines growing on the property, which are older than anyone still living in the area. Therefore, the Tequel Vineyard is dry-farmed and head-trained, and the wine expresses the land and viticultural traditions of Cauquenes, Chile. The Tempranillo and Petite Sirah were hand harvested on March 2nd and the País on March 15th.
