FEATURED: New Producer Alert! Cacique Maravilla
Just in from the Yumbel region of the Bío-Bío Valley, traditional, non-interventionist Chilean wines from Cacique Maravilla. Following the devastating 2010 earthquake in Chile, winemaker Manuel Moraga Gutierrez has spent the last ten years slowly rebuilding while making honest, rustic wines that evoke a crystal clear sense of place. As Manuel says, “One day I want good, trained sommeliers to taste my wine and say ‘This wine is from Yumbel, Chile.’”
