- Three centuries of heritage: Viña Maquis has a 300-year history of producing quality wines from non-grafted plants.
- Terroir between two rivers: the proximity of rivers provides natural protection against frost in spring and a cooling effect in summer. Alluvial soils, with good natural drainage, help produce the refined tannins of the Maquis.
- Innovation and Sustainability: a pioneer in sustainable practices such as the use of geothermal energy, the development of biological corridors and the raising of sheep and hens in the vineyards.
- Oenological Excellence: under the direction of Eric Boissenot, Viña Maquis produces wines from massal selections of Cabernet Franc, Carménère and Cabernet Sauvignon.
- International recognition: Maquis has been recognized by several wine critics as Chile’s best Cabernet Franc for over a decade, and the world’s highest-rated Carménère.
Viña Maquis, nestled in Chile’s historic Colchagua Valley, boasts a winemaking tradition dating back to the 18th century, when it was under the aegis of Jesuit priests.
Acquired by the Hurtado family in 1916, the estate specialized on the production of fine wines, focusing on grape varieties such as Cabernet Franc and Carménère.
The construction of their modern winery in 2002 renewed the family’s commitment to the expression of this unique terroir surrounded by two rivers and its exceptional quality, with a focus on sustainable viticulture and artisan winemaking under the guidance of Jacques and Eric Boissenot.
Thanks to its unique microclimate and ideal soils, as well as a rich history marked by innovation and sustainability, this estate produces wines that captivate wine lovers all over the world, solidifying its reputation as a producer of some of Chile’s most prestigious and respected wines.
