Description

Chekura is a family owned vineyard. Daniela, Pablo and Luan (our toddler), are passionate about nature, work with regenerative agriculture and produce small amounts of wine from Itata Valley, Chile. Making their own preps and teas from sea water, native plants and forest floor fungi (all from their land), they learn from, adapt to, and are inspired by the relationships they observe between above and below ground biology. Luscious year-long and very diverse ground cover, and absolutely zero tilling were integral for soil regeneration, which over time has allowed the vines to find their natural state of simbiosis with insects and plants (aka ‘pests’ and ‘weeds’). Pablo planted the vines as a youngster with his father, and has making traditional Southern wine since he was a kid. As well as being a self taught permie, he makes wine according to his untrained natural instincts.
