Miguel Bersoain honed his winemaking skills in Europe, but took his talents home to Chile in 2010, starting a family winery while also engaging in several side wine projects, like Los Morros and ByB. For Lafken, his father run the office and his wife, Alexandra, handles the marketing. Their Cabernet starts with grapes from a 25 year old single plot. The wine is tank fermented and ages in French oak for 16 months.
