George Horney Commercial Director AltaCima is a family-run boutique winery located in Lontué Valley, Province of Curicó in the Maule Region, approximately 200 kilometers south of Santiago. It is property of the married couple of Klaus Schröder and Katharina Hanke who have been married since 1971, and that in year 1974 acquired the ‘Los Peumos’ estate, which currently has grown to be the AltaCima vineyard. At that time they were dreaming that someday they could have their own winery and produce their own wines there, dream that they could become real in year 2000 with the building of a modern winery next to their family home, and that the launching of the AC 6330 Ensamblaje, vintage 2001, finally gave life to Viña AltaCima.

  • Chilean Wine from Wikipedia
    Chilean wine From Wikipedia History European Vitis vinifera vines were brought to Chile by Spanish conquistadors and missionaries in the 16th century around 1554. During the Spanish rule, vineyards were restricted in production with the stipulation that the Chilean should purchase the bulk of their wines directly from Spain itself. y. The market loss caused the huge surplus of grapes to be made into pisco and aguardiente . In the 18th century, Chile was known mostly for its sweet wines made from the Pais and Muscatel grapes. 20th century Prior to the 1980s, the vast majority of Chilean wine was considered low quality and mostly consumed domestically. As awareness of Chile's favorable growing conditions for viticulture increased so did foreign investment in Chilean wineries. This period saw many technical advances in winemaking as Chile earned a reputation for reasonably priced premium quality wines. Chile began to export extensively, becoming the third leading exporter, after France and Italy , into the United States by the turn of the 21st century. Climate and geography Chile is a long, narrow country that is geographically and climatically dominated by the Andes to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west. Chile's vineyards are found along an 800-mile stretch of land from Atacama Region to the Bio-Bio Region in the south. The climate is varied with the northern regions being very hot and dry compared to the cooler, wetter regions in the south. In the Valle Central around Santiago , the climate is dry with an average of 38 centimeters of rain and little risk of springtime frost .

  • Experience the Dinner Menu

This year, our quest led us to Chile, where on the Western edge of South America, we discovered rustic flavors, warm and welcoming people, a compelling landscape and some of the best wines in the world. Chile’s geographic barriers – the Atacama Desert to the north, the Andes Mountains to the east, the Patagonian ice fields to the south, and the Pacific Ocean to the west – protect its grape-growing valleys from harsh weather, making it literally, a winemaking paradise.

  • Miguel Torres Chile - Curicó
    Miguel Torres Chile - Curicó www.migueltorreschile.com Wij worden ontvangen door technisch directeur Fernando Almeda Ollé. Geschiedenis De Spaanse wijnproducent Miguel Torres begon in Chile in 1979, toen een kleine winery met 100 ha wijngaarden werd verworven in Curicó. Torres was daarmee een van de eerste buitenlandse wijnproducenten die in Chili investeerde. Sindsdien heeft Miguel Torres Chile het wijngaardbezit uitgebreid tot 445 ha. In 2010 kreeg wijnmaker Miguel Torres Maczassek, vijfde generation Torres, de leiding over het Chileense bedrijf. Wijngaarden De druiven komen voor 60% van eigen wijngaarden, de rest van de druiven wordt aangekocht bij contractboeren. Alle wijnen worden onder de noemer Fair Trade op de markt gebracht. Sommige wijngaarden zijn biologisch. De kosten daarvan zijn 25% hoger dan bij niet-biologische wijnbouw. De monocepage wijnen met het label Las Mulas zijn afkomstig van biologische wijnbouw. Vroeger werden de wijngaarden geïrrigeerd met water dat de rivieren aanvoerden vanuit de Andes, en dat via een systeem van kanalen werd verspreid. Dat systeem is nu vervangen door moderne installaties voor druppelirrigatie. Torres heeft de volgende wijngaarden: Maquehua, 95 ha, Curricó; San Francisco North, 50 ha, Molina, Curricó; Cordillera, 86 ha, Río Claro, Maule; San Luis de Alico, 40 ha, San Clemente, Maule; Crucecillas, 75 ha (langlopend contract), Melozal, Maule; Cerro Azul, 22 ha (langlopend contract), Villa Prat, Curricó; Huerta del Maule, 179 ha, Maule; Empedrado, 364 ha, San Clemente, Empedrado. Torres bezit ook wijngaarden in Elqui en in het uiterste zuiden. technisch directeur Fernando Almeda Ollé Itata Zeer recent werd 230 ha land gekocht in Itata Valley, aan de oevers van de rivier Nuble.
