When it comes to growing grapes, you often hear winemakers talking about the importance of location when crafting the best wines. The difference between an exceptional wine and something so-so can often vary by a matter of metres. Our X Marks The Spot label reveals world class wines from some of the best unique and amazing sites we have discovered. Here, winemaker Gonzalo Pérez Abarzúa saw the potential of a parcel of land in his Riesling vineyard and has crafted a remarkably crisp and fruity dry white, elegantly laced with aromas of zesty citrus and hints of jasmine.

Gonzalo Pérez Abarzúa
Since 2015, winemaker Gonzalo Pérez Abarzúa has brought over 25 years of expertise to Cremaschi Furlotti, crafting wines that embody the true spirit of its terroir. With a background in agronomy, oenology, and research at prestigious institutions like Universidad Católica and UCLA, Gonzalo seamlessly blends innovation with tradition, producing elegant, balanced wines rooted in the winery's Italian heritage. Cremaschi Furlotti's story began in Italy, where Angel Furlotti established the family's winemaking legacy in 1889. Four generations later, the tradition thrives in Chile's Loncomilla Valley, where his descendants create wines that honour their rich history and enduring passion.
"I have walked my vineyards many times, I could probably tell you the location of each stone between the vines. However, in the top right corner of my Riesling vineyard the soils are slightly different. With alluvial franc clay soils, I knew it had potential. Therefore, I hand harvested these vines separately this year and I can say, I am blown away by the result. I have let the grapes do the talking in this wine resulting in a crisp and elegant white bursting with ripe fruit and Riesling's signature purity." - Gonzalo Pérez Abarzúa, Winemaker.
