How and Where to Find Natural Wine in Chile - AFAR

"One of Chile’s oldest family wineries, De Martino should be a role model for all larger wine operations. An early adopter of organic farming, the winery stopped using yeasts and most other additives nearly a decade ago. For the Viejas Tinajas wines, winemaker Marcelo Retamal starts with fruit harvested from old vines in Itata then ferments and ages the wines in old amphorae called tinajas sourced from all around Chile. All tours include a tasting of the tinaja wine. You can also arrange to have lunch or dinner—and the lovely grounds are worth exploring. Tours and tastings from $27 per person." - Alice Feiring
