Attracted by a valley that had begun to capture attention for its excellent winegrowing conditions, the renowned French-Chilean winemaker Patrick Valette joined the Neyen team as a consultant in late 2002.

With a long career as a winemaker and consultant to Château Pavie, Château Berliquet, and others in France, as well as to many wineries in Chile, such as Viña El Principal, Quebrada de Macul, Viña Vistamar, Terramater, J.Bouchon, and Tamaya, Patrick tends this wine as if it were his own.

Our resident winemaker, Fabien Réquillard.

Together they form an enological team that gives life to our unique wine, the only one we make—Neyen de Apalta.
