William Cole, an American citizen, fell in love with the Casablanca Valley because of its colors and fertile lands reminding his origins in the United States. The winery was founded in 1999 in the Tapihue area, in the heart of the Casablanca Valley. Located on one side of the vineyards, it has an advanced technology and a capacity of 3 million liters in stainless steel tanks. Together with its lands of alluvial origin and good permeability, the perfect “terroir” is achieved for the Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir varieties.
