About Quintessa:

Quintessa spans 280 acres of diverse geology, biodiversity, exposures, and microclimates. Of this, 160 acres are dedicated to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Carménère, carefully cultivated across 26 vineyard blocks. Since its planting in 1989, the estate has adhered to organic principles, incorporating Biodynamic® practices in 1996, driven by the belief that the highest farming standards yield the world’s finest wines. Inspired by the land’s natural grandeur, the Huneeus family has devoted themselves to capturing its beauty and harmony in a single, extraordinary wine each year. Honoring the tradition of esteemed wine estates, Quintessa’s singular red blend from each vintage offers a transparent, energetic, and holistic expression of the property.
