François Lurton Hacienda Araucano
In Chile’s Lolol Valley, a pale morning veil—Humo Blanco—hangs above the rows as Pacific air rolls inland. At François Lurton Hacienda Araucano, vines were planted in 2000 on virgin ground; today 28 hectares sit in an east–west corridor of Colchagua.
Granite-schist soils, low disease pressure and a hot, dry daytime climate are tempered by ocean breezes and cool nights. Biodynamic farming is used to build biodiversity and natural balance, turning the vineyard into a self-sustaining ecosystem.
Syrah and Pinot Noir are matched to plot orientation and soil, while Sauvignon Blanc is picked early, at aromatic peak, rather than at weight. The result is a clear, lifted expression of DO Lolol—focused, authentic and quietly original, carrying both the valley’s freshness and Lurton’s precision of craft.François Lurton Hacienda Araucano
