A trip to other times Try your country without corrections, the juice without interference that the grapes gave, is a trip to the past, an instant flash that takes you non-stop to the wines that were made in Chile – and in the world – a century ago, the times when over-maderization and excesses in alcohol levels did not exist; the time when wine was drunk for pleasure and, even, to quench thirst. A wine from the past. Of those wines that no longer exist, but that from time to time appear as lights to remind us where we are and what we drink.

On the shores of Lake Colbún, motivated by the taste of making a good wine and trying new things. The birth of the wine “Ribera del lago” is full of family anecdotes for Rafael Tirado and his father-in-law Georg Andresen, harvests where children and adults participated by squeezing, pressing and stepping on the grapes in a very important event for everyone.
The maximum freedom to make mistakes and experiment were the perfect cradle to let the imagination fly and obtain a really different result, since these wines were born with the sole purpose of enjoying themselves at home to toast and share. This is how it all began with half a hectare of cabernet Sauvignon, in 1993. After a while Rafael and Georg got excited and started planting more and more.
To the cabernet they added sauvignon blanc, plus cabernet and merlot between 1996 and 1997. Then in 2003 on the highest slopes of the bank they planted syrah and more cabernet.
