Defined by high acidity and gentle tannins, this fully-skin contact semillon is a new rendition of an ancient variety.  Grown on both traditional trellises and old-school espalier, this single-vineyard site is part of a greater micro-polyculture.  Native trees and shrubs dot the surrounding landscape, comingling with the vineyard itself.  Where in the states, grapes exposed to such pervasive shrubland would succumb to mildew and insect damage, here, the vines thrive.  The goal is to craft a living polyculture, and Villalobos has more than succeeded.  

About Villalobos

Villalobos is situated in Colchagua Valley, Chile, a region long known for its expansive pastures and lowland sea-side breezes. Established in the 1940s, the vines of Villalobos have never been treated with chemicals, acclimating entirely to the demands of their climate. They grow alongside a polyculture of native trees and shrubs, the vineyard molding itself to the unique shape of the landscape. The goal of Villalobos is to move away from the traditional modes of intensive monocultures.
