Chile
Chile has long since been known as the Winemaker’s Paradise. Located squarely within the 30th and 50th degree of latitude, its climatic isolation protects it from diseases and pests and creates a near perfect environment for growing grapes. Temperatures in Chile rarely rise above 35C, due to the cooling influences of the Andes and the Humboldt Current, a major cool current that runs north along the Chilean coastline toward the equator and the most productive marine eco-system in the world.
ECHEVERRÍA
CURICÓ VALLEY
Today Viña Echeverría is still a family-owned and managed estate winery, and its vineyards and house occupy the same location as they did nearly 100 years ago. The 65 hectares of sustainable farmed vineyards in Chile’s Central Valley are planted, tended and harvested by the Echeverría family. Roberto Echeverria is still very active in the family business and continues to inspire the whole family to develop new projects and delight new customers. Together with his four children, Paulina, Viviana, Roberto and Diego they hand-sell their wines, traveling to their 40 markets worldwide on a regular basis, and count many of their customers as friends. They form an unbeatable team bonded together by strong family roots, shared passion for wine-making, uncompromising search for excellence and dedication to their customers.
