Mr Bulnes was an intellectual and pioneer of the modernization of Chile who dedicated his last years to the preservation of the local fauna. He was particularly passionate about ornithology and enjoyed watching his favorite species, the mockingbird (Tenca) from the balcony of his library. 

The Casablanca Valley is located between the Pacific Ocean and the Cordillera del Mar. Casablanca's geographic location allows it to retain the freshness brought by the Pacific throughout the year. The cool, low-lying areas favor vibrant whites with a distinctive minerality. The climate of the region is Mediterranean with a maritime influence. Morning mists from the Pacific Ocean have a significant cooling influence in the Casablanca Valley. It is due to its climatic conditions that the grapes ripen more slowly giving beautiful concentrations of aromas and flavors.

The grapes are harvested by machine during the night, taking advantage of the low temperature. The grapes are subtly pressed to preserve the qualities of the fruit and
its aromas. The must is then decanted and racked into stainless steel tanks, where the alcoholic fermentation begins. Once fermentation is complete, the wine is left in contact with its fine lees and pumping-over are carried out daily, favoring the expression and the good development of the wine. The wine is finally stabilized and prepared for bottling.
