Mancura is a winery born as a tribute to the roots, traditions, and heritage of Chile, dedicated to preserving the country’s winemaking legacy. Its name honors the mythical condor of the Andes Mountains—Mancura—whose legend tells of its presence soaring high during the day, bringing the sun’s warmth, energy, and vitality to the valleys. At nightfall, with its majestic flight, Mancura carries the sea’s cool breezes, creating some of the best conditions in the world for crafting high-quality wines.

Guided by this philosophy, Mancura strives to remain at the forefront of innovation, adopting initiatives that promote sustainability in its production processes. Through a strategic agreement between Morandé Wine Group (MWG) and Climeworks, a Swiss pioneer in carbon capture technologies, Viña Mancura has emerged as a benchmark for environmentally responsible practices, further strengthening MWG’s commitment to environmental protection and active engagement in combating climate change.

Under this agreement, Morandé Wine Group, through its Mancura winery, has committed to eliminating 10% of its historical carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from the atmosphere over six years. This initiative not only underscores MWG’s dedication to environmental responsibility but also highlights its vision to integrate innovative and sustainable practices within the winemaking industry.

Climeworks, renowned globally for its carbon capture solutions, employs advanced technology to extract CO₂ directly from the air. This process involves specialized filters that absorb the gas, which is then concentrated and securely stored in geological formations. This method effectively reduces greenhouse gas emissions and combats climate change. The collaboration with MWG, through Viña Mancura, leverages this cutting-edge technology to tackle the global challenge of CO₂ emissions.

In addition to this critical carbon elimination initiative, the agreement also includes Mancura’s commitment to reducing its annual CO₂ emissions by 5% each year, aiming for a carbon-neutral future. This goal reflects MWG’s intention to mitigate the environmental impact of its operations while encouraging the adoption of sustainable practices across the winemaking industry.

This pioneering approach positions Morandé Wine Group and Viña Mancura as leaders in implementing sustainable solutions, setting a new standard within the sector. The partnership with Climeworks demonstrates MWG’s ability to integrate state-of-the-art technology with its winemaking expertise, driving meaningful change and inspiring other wineries to follow suit.

This step toward more responsible viticulture aligned with the planet’s needs exemplifies MWG and Viña Mancura’s unwavering commitment to innovation, environmental stewardship, and creating a sustainable legacy for future generations.
