It has taken a while, but Chilean winemakers now understand this old Bordeaux grape variety: late picking and slightly cooler slopes are key, and the result is a rich, curranty wine with depth and length.

Geo Wines was conceived in 2001 to help to develop the best little parcels of terroir in the emerging areas of Chilean viticulture. Providing technical assistance, Alvaro Espinosa consults at various wineries, producing fairly simple, fruity wines under his own Rayun label. His Cucao label is for wines of Reserva status with the slightly better quality, more complex wine spending time in French oak. Either way, these are new-wave, more terroir focused wines, with an awareness of the environment and an emphasis on individuality.
