Crazy Rows: old vines and the hidden heritage of Chile

The name Crazy Rows refers to the unique vineyards from which the grapes originate. Unlike modern vineyards, these old vines are not planted in strict straight lines. They grow freely as bush vines, without poles or wires, in seemingly random rows. It is this traditional method of viticulture that produces grapes with a distinctive character and a strong expression of their origin.

The grapes for Crazy Rows come from very old, dry-farmed vineyards in the Maule and Itata valleys. These vineyards are maintained by small, local winegrowers who have passed down knowledge and traditions from generation to generation. Many of the vines are decades old, even more than a hundred years old, and are grown without irrigation, allowing them to root deeply and produce grapes with extra concentration and character.

País is one of Chile's oldest grape varieties, introduced by Spanish settlers as early as the 16th century. The wine offers aromas of fresh red fruits, a light color, and a juicy, approachable style that perfectly matches the current demand for elegant, fresh red wines. 

Originating from the cool hills of the Itata Valley. This wine combines lively red fruit with subtle spicy notes. Light, smooth, and surprisingly versatile at the table, with an authentic character that beautifully reflects its origin.

A remarkable white wine from old Moscatel vines in Itata. The wine stands out with its expressive floral aromas, fresh style, and lively fruit tones including grapefruit. An authentic interpretation of a historical grape variety.

At Bisquertt, respect for terroir is central. The grapes are hand-harvested and the vinification occurs with minimal intervention. By preserving as much of the character of the grape and vineyard as possible, wines that are pure, honest, and authentic are created.
