Gillmore Winery: Crafting Distinctive Wines in Loncomilla Valley

Founded in 1990 by Francisco Gillmore, Gillmore Winery is a family-owned estate that has become a hallmark of quality in the Loncomilla Valley. Together with his daughter Daniella and son-in-law Andres Sanchez, Francisco has cultivated a unique project that gives Gillmore wines their signature character. Nestled in the coastal dry area of the Maule Valley, the winery is surrounded by native trees and diverse Chilean wildlife, creating a picturesque setting for wine production.

Winery Philosophy

At Gillmore Winery, the focus is on crafting high-quality wines that showcase the true potential of Chilean viticulture. The wines are celebrated for their concentrated aromas and flavors, appealing to a wide range of wine enthusiasts. Outstanding grapes are essential for exceptional wines. The winery prioritizes its Tabontinaja vineyards, where grapes are meticulously cared for and harvested by hand, ensuring a skilled and thoughtful production process.

A Diverse Range of Varietals

Gillmore Winery cultivates a variety of grape types in its Tabontinaja vineyards, including Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Carmenere, Carignan, Malbec, and Syrah. These grapes are grafted onto century-old mission vine rootstock, which enhances the wines' character and reflects the unique terroir of the region. The winemaking team carefully studies each varietal, harvesting and fermenting them individually to create wines of exceptional quality.
