Oenology is one of man's most passionate activities.
That passion is the origin of our wines.
And what makes us different is our number one tool…
Creativity. To know… To explore…
To learn from each step we take, and to do something new…
To be better producers and make a greater wine.

Cuchillo de Palo wines are the result of an exceptional vineyard located in Vistaflores, at the foot of majestic mountains. Our main objective is to capture and express, in anauthentic manner, the unique character of our terroir, without any pretensions. We strive to create wines that are truly enjoyable, placing emphasis on quality and uniqueness.
We allow ourselves to explore and experiment with micro-vinifications, constantly seeking the ideal blend that reflects the different stages of evolution of our grapes. This passion for the art of winemaking is carried out by “El Nesti” (Ernesto Bajda), our talented winemaker, who allows himself to be free in a place he knows like the garden of his own home, and that we care for with the same attention to detail and precision as a Japanese garden.
