“My inspiration is to produce wine with a unique energy and balance in
every sense of the way… given by the passion of all those who work in its
production under a sustainable philosophy, re ecting its exceptional origin
and therefore obtaining a wine that stands out from the rest given its
uniqueness and quality that will be consistent throughout time.”
Carolina is fluent in English and French, enjoys singing, cooking, passionate
for nature, reason why she spends many of her weekends exploring
different hills in the Andes Mountains.
