Juan Cúneo Solari founded Casas del Bosque in 1993, at a time when the Chilean wine industry was pursuing quantity over quality.
The fruits for La Cantera Sauvignon Blanc come part from the red sandy loam soil of “Lo Vásquez” planted on a hillside and part from Olivos Camino’s vineyard located 18 km from the Pacific Ocean at 250 meters of altitude. The vineyard is located in the coldest and western part of the Casablanca Valley.
This La Cantera 2024 is an outstandingly aromatic wine, which delivers the true cool climate expression of our vineyard, located
in Las Dichas, the coldest end of the Casablanca Valley. The sensation of “saltiness” on the back palate speaks of Las Dichas’site.
Juan Cúneo Solari founded Casas del Bosque in 1993, at a time when the Chilean wine industry was pursuing quantity over quality. His commitment to quality is evident in the Gran Reserva Cabernet, a wine which is a great exponent of this characteristic variety of Chile that finds one of its most typical expressions in the Maipo Valley.
The origin of “La Trampa” dates back to the early 2000’s, when the dream of the “Great Chilean Cool – Climate Red” began to take shape through an innovative proposal of planting low-yielding Syrah on granitic soils at the top of the hills. Later, advances in topography and knowledge of the vineyards led the team to plant Malbec in the same soils and in another part of the hill facing east, where the best Pinot Noir were already cultivated.
Over the years, experience showed that complementing our Syrah with Malbec and, later, Pinot Noir would give rise to this great wine, achieving a deep finesse and elegance like no other blend from a cold climate.

Kalfu means “Blue” in Mapudungun, the language of the aboriginal Mapuche people of the region. It represents the color that provides a myriad of sensations: blue, like the Pacific Ocean’s intense blue; and blue, like the free sky, acting as an accomplice of and witness to the mysterious origins of life.
Molu means West or “where the sun sets”. History tells us that the mapuche saw the stars in the sky over the Pacific Ocean and as the earth was rotating, they would hide in the sea and become starfish. At that time no one knew that the earth was round and turning; back then they believed the stars were falling into the deep darkness of the ocean.
