In honor of the southern constellation of the Crane or Gruis: the ship of materialization between the divine and the earthly. GRUS is a red blend that acquires its typicity in the combination of different plots located at different heights within Alcohuaz. Malbec has been used in some vintages, while in others, for example, it has been replaced by Petit Verdot.

A high desert two thousand meters above sea level. A terroir marked by the sun, the granite and the altitude. Wines that reflect a humanized landscape. Energetic and vertical like the Cordillera de los Andes, serious and austere like its inhabitants.
Wines to the limit with an overwhelming personality. A bold and pioneering project in exploring the great potential of high altitude wines in the heart of the Andean Cordillera. Added to this is Marcelo Retamal's most personal project, RETA, where he continues to masterfully explore the great potential of the various Chilean terroirs, in this case the Limarí Valley. Sun, little rain and calcareous soils moistened by the Camanchaca, a thick and low mist that enters the semi-arid valleys of the interior from the nearby Pacific Ocean.
