Von Siebenthal is one of the best-known wineries in the region of Aconcagua, and it tells the story of expat Mauro Von Siebenthal who decided to sell up in Switzerland to chase the dream of making fine wine in Chile.
It was a large risk to take, but Mauro was convinced by the pedigree of Aconcagua terroir (helped by the reputation of his vineyard neighbour, Errazuriz) and his love of the rich red wines the region can make so well. He set out to make Von Siebenthal wines some of the most celebrated in Aconcagua.
In this interview, we find out why Von Siebenthal focuses on the Bordeaux varieties of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Malbec, and taste through two of the winery’s most emblematic wines, Parcela 7 and Toknar.
