A bit about us...
We are Viña Echeverria, a family winery in Chile. Maybe you´ve heard of us, maybe not. Since 1992, when we went to the London Wine Trade fair with a suitcase full of homemade wine, we've been making and exporting wine pretty much everywhere in the world. The thing is, a few years ago we started making natural wine, and apparently we´re quite good at it.
At least, that's what our customers tell us.
Our winery is in Chile´s Valle de Curico, (on a latitude with South Africa, or New Zealand to give you an idea), in a broad valley between the Andes mountains and the Pacific Ocean. It's like this corridor of extremely lush agricultural land with very diverse and fertile soil. The mountain and ocean breezes control temperature and regulate the sun during the long, hot summers, helping the vines mature slowly and evolve flavours. Not only that, but we have very few vineyards pests, which means a near perfect environment for
organic agriculture.
From a grapes point of view, it doesn't get much better.
All of our natural wines are made according to the following criteria:
THEY ARE MADE FROM SUSTAINABLY FARMED ESTATE GRAPES
THEY ARE NATURALLY FERMENTED WITH YEASTS PRESENT ON THE GRAPE
MADE WITHOUT THE ADDITION OF FOREIGN YEASTS, BACTERIA, SULPHUR, SUGAR OR ACID ADJUSTMENTS.
THEY UNDERGO NO FINING OR FILTRATION
THEIR PACKAGING IS 100% RECYCLABLE (CORK CLOURE AND WAX SEAL)

No Es Pituko Chardonnay 2024/25
13% alcohol. Slightly cloudy. Lovely bright, spicy citrus fruit aromatics here: so exotic but also nicely constrained. The palate is lively, textured and expressive with orange peel, mandarin and lime, showing focus, a lively spicy finish, and also some richer baked apple hints on the mid-palate. Juicy, vibrant and delicious. 91/100

No Es Pituko
Viognier 2024
13% alcohol. Slightly cloudy. Lovely bright flavours of apricots and pear, with a vivid citrus edge. There’s a nice texture here, with an appley mid-palate, but the exotic fruit, hemmed in well by acidity, dominates proceedings. Really expressive and delicious with a thrilling spicy acidity and some mineral notes. Has real complexity, with layers of flavour. 92/100

No Es Pituko
País (Rosé) 2024
TOP ROSE WINE - 94 points*
12.9% alcohol. Cloudy pink red colour. It’s fresh and textural with a rich sweet pear base and notes of cherry and marzipan. There’s a frilly citrus pink grapefruit edge surrounding the warm, harmonious pear notes. Layered with ripe fruit sandwiched between salt and grapefruit. Very drinkable. 92/100

No Es Pituko
Cabernet Franc 2023
94 points*
14% alcohol. This is vivid and intense: concentrated with juicy black cherry and blackberry fruit with some grippy tannins, a fresh crunchy feel, and good acidity. This is just about primary fruit, and there’s a whole lot of it. I love the freshness and purity here. Serve slightly cool, and although this emphasizes the structure a bit, it also brightens the fruit wonderfully. Think of this like tasting a really good tank sample, with all the latent potential accessible now. 92/100

No Es Pituko
Cabernet Sauvignon 2023
13.5% alcohol. Deeply coloured, this has a floral, vivid, primary nose of brambly fruit with a nice touch of green adding freshness. The palate is vivid and grippy with juicy berry fruits and some firm crunchy tannins. Bright and immediate; refreshing and drinkable; a wine for the table with its good acidity and tannins. I love it for its immediacy. It’s not trying to be fine wine, but it captures the joy of harvest and simple winemaking without any trickery or make-up. 91/100

No Es Pituko Orange
Sauvignon Blanc 2025
93 points*
Orange wine is white wine that's left in extended contact with its skins after fermentation, up to a month, giving its distinctive orange hue.
On the palate, big, dry, tannic (that's because of the skins) with a sourness that some people liken to beer, aromas of orange peel, hazelnut and sourdough. A robust wine, you can pair it with almost anything, especially strong, spicy flavours.

PET NAT Miao
Chardonnay/Cab Franc 2025
A bit like Champagne, this natural wine undergoes spontaneous fermentation in bottle, except without the addition of sugar.
Result is soft and creamy bubbles but with refreshing acidity. Ripe peaches and citrus fruit with toasty notes, plus a nice drawing of a kitty on the label.
PET NAT Wild
Chardonnay 2025
What we love about Pet Nat is that its fizz levels (lower than Champagne) mean that its softer to drink than other sparkling wines, plus it's more pronounced texture and flavours make it super food-friendly (maybe even it's bestie).
Spent yeast cells or lees remain in the bottle so you may see some sediments floating around, but these are what give it its unique characteristics.
Its signature freshness make it a perfect aperitif.
ROMI ORANGE
Sauvignon Blanc 2023
Orange wine is so NOW. But actually it's also so THEN, as in how they made wine thousands of years ago.
Orange wine is white wine that is left in contact with the grape skins, and as the skin is where colour and tannin are found, it produces wine that has an unusual orange hue and a noticeably dry, tannic quality. Added to the fact that it's aged 6 months in oak barrels, this makes for a robust wine that pairs well with food.
El Compadre
Pinot Noir 2021
This low intervention Pinot Noir is made from organically grown grapes from Chile´s southernmost viticultural wine region, Bio Bio. The cool climate and volcanic soil are perfect for certain varieties and result in wines that are fresh, flavourful and complex.
El Compadre has fresh, floral aromas with flavours of red cherry and smoky coffee. Light to medium texture and body, we stick ours in the fridge for half an hour before we drink it, which livens the refreshing fruitiness.
