Roberto Henriquez's "Tierra de Pumas" is a remarkable wine that embodies the essence of its terroir in the Bio Bio region of Chile. Produced by Roberto Henríquez, who honed his craft studying agronomy and enology at the University of Concepción, this wine is a testament to his dedication to organic and biodynamic farming practices. The vineyard, situated 2 kilometers inland from the Bío Bío River, boasts granitic soil with origins in the volcanic activity of the Cordillera de Nahuelbuta, also known as "Cougar's Land." The wine, crafted from 100% País grapes from 200-year-old vines, exudes a complex, fruity, and meaty character. Roberto's winemaking journey, which includes stints in Canada, South Africa, and the Loire Valley under the tutelage of Rene Mosse, underscores his commitment to producing wines of exceptional purity and quality. "Tierra de Pumas" represents a growing movement of vignerons in the Itata and Bio Bio regions, crafting wines with a profound sense of place and a commitment to sustainable agriculture.
