D.O. MAULE VALLEY PREMIUM WINE
The magic is not knowing, the surprise is in the unknown. The fable, mythology, legends and fantasies are all born from curiosity to know more. The enigma that surrounds Palmira for its quality and style, all of that, is a secret.
Palmira is located in the Maule Valley, it is known for its secrets and mysteries. Inspired by its legends, we create transversal wines from the Colbún area, located in the mountain range and, with its characteristic Sauvignon Blanc, to the Loncomilla area at the Maule coast.

OUR WINEMAKER Felipe Ortiz Agronomist Enologist Engineer, schoolar of the prestigious asociation of agronomist engineers of Chile (ANIAE). Felipe has developed his carreer in France, USA, Australia and Chile, he mantains that the Maule Valley has a variety of characteristics that ensure: White wines with very fresh and mineral traces, in particular our Sauvignon Blanc. Red wines with short maturity cycles showing a very good balance between alcohol and acidity, like Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. And above all, a nice and silky Carmenere, a tricky and demanding variety which is hard to mature properly in other valleys.
