Herencia
The grapes that give life to Herencia’s third vintage are sourced from two of Chile’s leading winegrowing regions: Peumo in the Cachapoal Valley and Los Lingues in the Colchagua Valley. In our Rinconada and
Los Lingues estates, utmost care is exercised to ensure each grape reaches the optimum ripeness to produce a powerful, elegant and concentrated wine.
