Taste: The first impression is of a charming longan fruity aroma~ Casablanca is located in the back garden of Chile, which is really good. The rare cool weather in South America makes the wine as acidic as Sauvignon Blanc from the Marabough district of New Zealand. High, the wine is richer in body than the lower wine, and at the same time it can bring out the elegant side of Chilean wine. It has a good re-freshing taste. Of course, it also has the iconic pomegranate flavor of Sauvingnon Blanc, and there is a kind of refreshing white flower fragrance in the back part~ With such a balanced wine body, it’s no wonder that Descorchados, the Chilean wine yearbook, gave it a high score of 90! ,

Loma Larga's great-grandfather, Don Manuel Joaquín Díaz Escudero Alvarez de Toledo, personally led the group on adventures in Paris and Bordeaux . Consulting with French winemakers, he planted these vines on his farm, "Chakra Victoria", located in the area east of present-day Santa Rosa Street in the city of Santiago. With the dream of maintaining this wine-growing tradition, it led its ancestors to produce high-quality wines for export to Europe, as noted at the 1889 Wine Exhibition in Paris. In 1999, the family began to cultivate the current Loma Larga vineyard. Climate and soil studies began in 1994 to understand the potential of the "terroir" of Loma Larga. Today, Loma Larga Vineyards is recognized as Chile’s leader in cold-climate red wine production.

More than 20 years of research and testing have gone into Loma Larga, setting Loma Larga apart from the vast majority of Chilean wine regions. the difference. Since 1999, Loma Larga has planted 148 hectares of vineyards with white varieties and inks, some of which are not traditional to the Casablanca valley, such as Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Syrah: this avant-garde idea has been around since the first harvests Successful and enjoying unlimited support from national and international critics, this is the extraordinary character of Casablanca wines, whose freshness and aromatic potential are extremely high. Loma Larga is currently recognized as the premier vineyard in Chile's cold climate region.

Breezes from the Pacific Ocean cause slow ripening of the grapes in the valleys due to extreme temperature changes between day and night; except for the Lomas and Cerro Foothills where the soil is poor. In addition, this phenomenon also adds terroir to the wine.
