In the quiet heart of Chile’s Colchagua region, the Lolol Valley is a place of balance — ocean breezes meet mountain light, granite soils meet gentle mists. It was here that French winemaker François Lurton discovered his vision: to craft wines that express the land itself, pure and unadorned. A pioneer in this valley, he founded Hacienda Araucano in 2000 and built its first bodega on untouched, virgin terroir.

Lurton’s philosophy is simple yet profound: I am a winegrower, and my goal is to express the terroir. Guided by biodynamic and organic practices, he cultivates 26 hectares of certified organic vines, integrating agroforestry by planting native trees such as Quillayes among the rows. Every grape is harvested by hand in the cool morning air, preserving the valley’s natural freshness and vitality.

The result is a collection of wines that embody precision, purity, and place — deeply rooted in the schist and granite soils of Lolol, yet touched by the sea’s whisper. Elegant, distinctive, and alive with energy, these are wines that don’t just tell a story — they exist for a reason.

Born of virgin land. Guided by nature. Crafted with quiet mastery.
