Product Notes

Villalobos The Wild Vineyard Lobo Carmenere is a truly enchanting Chilean wine. Boasting a deeply saturated crimson hue, it emanates a lavishly fragrant nose of blackberry, green pepper and tobacco. This wine is remarkably elegant on the palate, exhibiting flavours of plum, dark spice and earthy nuances underpinned by subtly tannic undertones. The finish is lingering, exuding spicy warmth complemented by a very subtle acidity. Skilfully nurtured on wild Chilean vineyard slopes, this organic Carménère oozes authenticity. A compelling alternation of power and finesse, it encapsulates a captivating sensory paradox, making it a must-have for discerning wine aficionados.

About the Winery

Nestled amidst the stunning landscapes of Chile’s Colchagua Valley, Villalobos winery is truly a hidden gem. The winery, family-owned and operated, is known for its commitment to creating exceptional wines that reflect the unique terroir of the region.

The story of Villalobos began in the late 20th century, when Enrique Villalobos and his wife Rosa Maria Retamal decided to reclaim a vineyard that had been long abandoned. Their dedication and passion began to bear fruit, and the winery quickly developed a reputation for producing some of the finest Carmenere wines in the region.

Villalobos winery prides itself on traditional wine-making practices that highlight the individuality and character of each grape variety. They believe in letting their vines grow wild, not pruning or irrigating them and harvesting their grapes by hand. Centuries-old vines, flanked by native flora and fauna, yield small quantities of intensely flavoured fruit, which are then aged in French oak barrels to create unique, high-quality wines.

The whole winery operates under an ethos of respect for the environment. Villalobos winery is committed to sustainable farming, using only organic methods and abstaining from artificial pesticides and fertilisers. They also strive to protect and preserve the local ecosystem in their vineyards, ensuring the land remains vibrant and fertile for future generations.

Over the years, Villalobos Wines has received numerous accolades and awards. From their elegant, full-bodied Carmenere to their vibrant and fruity Sauvignon Blanc. Not only are their wines celebrated for their character and complexity, but also for their ability to express the ecosystem of their origin.
