History

      Loncomilla (meaning “Gold of the Chief” in Mapuche language) is a valley in the heart of the Maule Valley in central Chile. The valley surrounds the Loncomilla River, a southern tributary of the Maule River, which is a dominant geographical feature of the wider region.

​

   Located in Loncomilla, Vina Extrema grows the grapes in the vineyards that sit on the fairly flat land which surrounds the river, where the soils (mostly alluvial and loamy) are fertile and can produce high yields. Slighter higher up in the valley are hillier areas, where pockets of free-draining soils are made up mostly of gravel and decomposed granite. In these poorer, drier soils, vines are forced to grow deep root systems in order to find water and nutrients, and thus produce grapes of higher quality.

     Here at Vina Extrema, we are committed to produce high quality wines, having a passion on bringing the consumers leisure and healthiness at the same time.
