DANIEL LONNBERG HUME

OWNER AND WINEMAKER

OWNER OF VINSUR, Daniel Lonnberg Hume is originally from the city of Santiago de Chile, where he studied Oenology at the University of Chile. After graduating he quickly found a position with Concha y Toro and later, Altair & Chocalan. Encouraged by Jose Luis Durand, a fellow Chilean and well-respected winemaker who had already successfully established himself in Baja, Daniel made the decision to bring his talents to El Valle.

In 2005 he was selected by esteemed winemaker Hugo D’Acosta (Casa de Piedra), to become the Enologist for Paralelo.

After a successful stint at Paralelo, Daniel turned to consulting and has since developed an enviable list of clients including: Adobe Guadalupe, Hacienda Guadalupe, Norte 32, Emeve & Hilo Negro.

Considered to be amongst the region’s hottest winemakers, Daniel also produces multiple wines under the “VINSUR por Daniel Lonnberg” brand including two outstanding red blends, Cañada de los Encinos and Literal.

FOR DANIEL, understanding climatic and soil conditions of a place as a whole, is essential to making a good wine. “If you get to land that essence in a project, keeping it without further intervention, letting nature express itself, then you a achieved authenticity, the pure reflection of the terroir. Daniel likes to make wines that are easy to drink and enjoy, with the potential of being the perfect pairing for a good meal or simply to share during a good talk. Ever since he arrived to Baja he has witnessed a non-stopping evolution in the wine industry. “Mexican wine is starting to being recognized by its quality even outside Mexico, which was in the past unthinkable.” Baja has become now a beacon that attracts winemakers from all over the world eager to experiment in this privileged region and that at the same time have contribute to its development. Year after year we have seen a sustained growth and as a result more and more. People is talking about not only Baja, it’s wines and gastronomy but all the Mexican wine regions, we all are a common front where the ultimate goal is to achieve recognition for Mexican Wine. In this regard I believe Baja still has so much to contribute to place Mexico among the great world wine regions.
