Chekura

Chekura operates in Chile's Itata Valley, a region in the south known for its cool climate and historic grape varieties. The winery focuses on Pais and Cinsault—varieties that thrive in Itata's conditions and carry deep roots in Chilean viticulture. Mingaco Pais, a blend of Pais and Cinsault, represents the winery's core expression, while Mingaco Tinto, made from Cinsault alone, and Mingaco Blanco, crafted from Moscatel de Alejandría, round out the portfolio. Wine Advocate has rated these wines, with Mingaco Pais reaching 92.7 points. The lineup reflects a commitment to the distinctive character of southern Chilean terroir, where these traditional varieties express the valley's cool-climate signature.
