Description / Reviews

"Imaginador comes from two vineyards. The backbone of the wine is our TRANE vineyard, planted in 1944, rooted in a complex terroir: the top two meters consist of highly ferric silty-sandy soils, followed by a very sandy, quartz-rich, deeply weathered bedrock of light brown color. The second terroir is our MILES vineyard, planted in 1982. MILES is strikingly different—very rocky, with large quartz pebbles (over 3 mm), a silty-sandy texture, and a high presence of iron. Both vineyards are located at the highest part of Guarilihue Alto, only 350 meters apart.

Imaginador is vinified in concrete vats, with aging carried out in large wooden foudres and concrete tanks. Annual production is approximately 10,000 bottles." - Pedro Parra, Winemaker

"Pedro Parra crafts this wine from grapes sourced from five granite vineyards in Chile™s Itata Valley that range from 45 to 88 years old. It showcases the potential of old vine Cinsault, offering a perfumed nose of blood orange soda, stewed strawberries, and herbs. Juicy and tangy citrus and berry flavors are held together by bright acidity and chalky tannins on the palate." - Vine Pair
