Vineyards
Estate. All vineyards are worked following the strict guidelines of organic agriculture. Le Ragnaie uses no chemical fertilizers (only minimal use of Bordeaux mixture and powdered sulfur) and plants cover crops (legumes, clovers, and grasses) in the fall in lieu of fertilizer. This helps regenerate the land after a long summer season and enriches the soil’s organic matter. Additionally, the diversity of plants in the vineyard prevents superficial erosion and enhances water absorption and retention. Plus, it provides an essential habitat for many species of animals and insects. Taken as a whole, this guarantees the formation of an ecosystem full of life, which is essential to the health of the vines
About the Winemaker
Thierry Villard, a native of Paris, traveled the world and settled in Chile in the mid 1980s. Villard Fine Wines was established in 1989 in Casablanca, making them one of the pioneers in the valley. Since then, they have been recognized as one of the leading producers from the region. Now the new generation has taken over the estate, led by Charlie Villard. He continues to focus on minimal intervention farming, trying to express the best of the ocean-influenced appellation of Casablanca. This vineyard sits on foothills of the coastal mountain range just 35 kms from the Pacific Ocean. The Humboldt current running through the cold waters of the pacific, have a big impact in the microclimate, giving the region more moderate temperatures with cool sea breezes; giving an ideal climate for their grapes.
