Daniela De Pablo, Pablo Pedreros, and their kiddos are the family behind Mingaco, a regenerative farm and winery in the village of Checura, along the Itata river. They work with old vines of Moscatel, Cinsault, and País, some of the traditional varieties present in Itata for many hundreds of years. These vines, planted 30 years ago by Pablo, his father and his grandfather, were farmed traditionally until the 80s and 90s, when industrial agriculture arrived in the Itata Valley. After watching the health of the vines decline, Pablo decided to move towards organic farming methods in 2010, and eventually moved further towards polyculture, regenerative agriculture and, in 2017, biodynamic treatments. This ‘mezcla’ or ‘mixed’ red is about half Cinsault, half País, destemmed and co-fermented in fiberglass, with no additives. The result is silky texture, highly vibrant red fruits, with electric acidity, mint and citrus. A stunner!

“Wine Shop That’s Worth the Trip”

"Folkways is Spectacular! They are all highly customer focused, and incredibly knowledgeable. They carry interesting wines and spirits, things that are very hard to find elsewhere. (And if they don't have it they'll get it for you.)"

- Walter H.

“Wine geek paradise!”
