a great family
wine runs through our veins
viña koyle
Viña Koyle was born from a tradition that runs in our blood: we are a family dedicated to wine for more than six generations, since Don Francisco Undurraga Vicuña began in 1885. We are dedicated to making wines with identity, from vineyards planted on the rocky slopes of Los Lingues, in Alto Colchagua, at the foot of the Andes mountain range.
Our philosophy is based on respecting origin, and we are guided by biodynamic practices. In our winery we make wines that emphasise the excellence of our terroir, using our family’s experience and innovative winemaking techniques as tools to help us.

the koyle flower
Koyle is the flower, the result of a job well done, the process of perfection, of life, of beauty, the faithful reflection of the maximum expression of our terroir.
Like our native Los Lingues flower, we live with the idea of creating wines of excellence, with a unique stamp of character, elegance and purity.
