Alvaro Espinoza had returned to Chile from a stint at Fetzer and Bonterra where he experienced his own eureka on biodynamic farming. Upon his return to Chile and under the spell of the teachings from Alan York and Jim Fetzer, Alvaro was burning with ideas to put into practice in his home vineyard. Chono was started by Alvaro's father, an important enologist himself, and with Alvaro's recent feat of having succeeded him in receiving the Chilean Enology award for outstanding winemaking, the Espinoza family has gained legendary status among winemakers. In the central Maipo appellation, Alvaro's father planted Carmenère and Cabernet Sauvignon, with Alvaro adding Syrah later on to the mix. These grapes constitute now the Chono Winery label. With some plots still in conversion and a growing operation, a growing part of his production is certified as organic today.
