Nativa wines strive to capture the essence of Chile’s superior climate and terroir with organically grown grapes nurtured only by the light of the sun and the nutrients in the soil. The producer’s naturally distinctive wines are, as a result, full of the aromas and flavors that make Chile one of the most exciting wine producing countries in the world.

Nativa is committed to organic agriculture and sustainable winemaking practices, working to improve soil fertility, produce grapes free of chemical residue, use the maximum amount of renewable resources, all while maintaining the diversity of the ecosystem.

The dynamic Nativa Terra Reserva Series expresses perfectly how each varietal thrives in the unique Chilean climate. Scents of ripe red fruit, dark chocolate, cinnamon and a touch of black pepper grace the bouquet. On the palate, our Carmenere is lush, rich and fruit forward, with soft, silky tannins.
