Longaví

Longaví took shape in 2012 when Chilean winemaker Julio Bouchon and South African winemaker David Nieuwoudt set out on a project together. Bouchon comes from four generations of Chilean family winemaking; Nieuwoudt brought his experience at Cederberg Private Cellar. Julio’s brother Juan and oenologist Christian Sepúlveda later joined the team.

The project focuses on old, dry-farmed bush vines in Maule and Itata, including sites with decomposed granite soils. Winemaking takes a minimal-intervention approach, combining traditional techniques with experimentation.
