Vendor Details

Alto Roble Wines

Location:: Santiago, Chile

Our vast vineyards are located at Piedmont in a privileged terroir, which guaranties the quality of our grapes. Out of an overall surface of 1,000 hectares, 500 are planted with various vines: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Carmenère, Syrah, Malbec, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Late Harvest. In addition to our own 500 hectares of vineyards, we oversee productions in 500 other hectares of grape-growers' property, whose produce we purchase.

Over the next few years, we plan to broaden our plantations at Piedmont so we can increase our production of Reserve and Premium wines. At Alto Roble, we believe that 90% of the wine-making process is carried out in the grapevine itself. Our vineyards are the essence of our work.
