About The Producer

Cristóbal Undurraga – Chief Winemaker and Founding Partner

At Viña Koyle, winemaking is guided by a profound respect for nature and the belief that exceptional wines begin in the vineyard. Led by Cristóbal Undurraga, the winery embraces organic and biodynamic farming to reveal the purest expression of its terroir. Through minimal intervention, careful vineyard management, and a commitment to sustainability, Koyle produces elegant, structured wines that reflect the distinctive character of Chile's Andean foothills.

Located in Los Lingues, Alto Colchagua, at the foothills of the Andes Mountains, Viña Koyle benefits from a distinctive combination of elevation, mineral-rich soils, and Mediterranean climatic influences. Its vineyards are planted on ancient terraces with a mixture of volcanic, basaltic, and alluvial soils, providing excellent drainage and encouraging deep root development. Warm, sunny days support gradual grape ripening, while cool mountain breezes and significant nighttime temperature drops help preserve acidity and aromatic freshness. These conditions are particularly favourable for varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Carménère, Syrah, Malbec, and Cabernet Franc. Koyle's biodynamic farming practices further emphasize soil vitality, biodiversity, and the natural balance of the vineyard, producing wines with concentration, freshness, and a strong sense of place.

Founded in 2006 by the Undurraga family, Viña Koyle is a family-owned Chilean winery dedicated to producing premium terroir-driven wines through organic and biodynamic viticulture. Drawing on generations of Chilean winemaking experience, the family established Koyle in the Los Lingues area of the Colchagua Valley, recognizing the potential of its ancient Andean foothill soils and distinctive microclimate. Under the direction of Cristóbal Undurraga, the estate has developed a reputation for expressive wines that combine elegance, structure, and regional identity. Its portfolio includes Koyle Royale, Cerro Basalto, Auma, and Costa, each showcasing different vineyard sites, grape varieties, and winemaking approaches. Committed to environmentally responsible farming, Koyle has embraced certified biodynamic vineyard practices, biodiversity conservation, and minimal-intervention winemaking. Today, the winery represents a modern expression of Chilean fine wine, bringing together family heritage, innovation, and respect for the natural environment.
