The range's most aromatic and savoury red, for buyers who value varietal character over simple fruit sweetness.

Calcu works the coastal side of Colchagua's Marchigüe sector, where Pacific breezes moderate warm days and granitic clay soils naturally limit yields. Its gravity-fed winery uses geothermal energy, cutting gas and electricity use while handling fruit gently.
