"My winery is open to any woman who wants to invest in and make natural wine and ferments. It's a difficult industry to learn in for anyone, especially for women, and especially in deeply machista and discriminatory rural Chile. Women are invited to make natural wine collaboratively: we all buy the grapes (each women buying what she can afford) and make the wines together, usually with one of us leading the winemaking decisions. We then buy bottles and corks, collaborate with female artists for the labels, find buyers, export, pay income tax, the whole process. I provide the space, the fermenters, the logistics chain, but the idea is that each woman understands and takes a risk in the whole process, and she has the opportunity to springboard from there if they choose." - Alice L'Estrange
