More on the wine
One of the most ambitious altitude projects in Chile, this wine is made from grapes grown at 2200m above sea level and made in a winery with all natural wine making methods – crushed by foot in stone pools and aged in cement, this is minimalist winemaking.
More on the producer
Viñedos de Alcohuaz is a passion project of three parts: Patricio Flaño, an artist at heart who fell in love with the magic of Elqui and took the risk to invest in making Chile’s highest-altitude vineyards; Juan Luis Huerta, the former mayor of the town who brings the local knowledge and knows the region like the back of his hand; and renowned winemaker Marcelo Retamal whose inquisitive nature led him to explore Elqui hunting for new wine adventures where he came across Alcohuaz, and together they are now building one of the most exciting sustainable wineries buried into the mountainsides of stargazing-territory: Elqui.
