Viña Echeverría is a family-run estate winery, owned and managed by the Echeverría family. Established in 1930, but with an agricultural heritage going back to the 1700s, Viña Echeverría is as much today, as always, driven by a shared passion for winemaking and an uncompromising search for excellence. Viña Echeverría combines nearly a century of viticulture and winemaking experience with a modern state-of-the-art winery, to produce an extensive collection of quality wines. Viña Echeverría has recently been awarded its Sustainable Winery status by Wines of Chile.

The vineyard is located in the cool, coastal hills of the Colchagua Valley. Located at 170 metres above sea level, the vines are planted close to the Rapel River, which offers a tempering microclimate to the heat. The vines are grown just 15 kilometres away from the Pacific Ocean, which provides tremendous maritime influence, with constant coastal breezes cooling the vines. The vineyard is also significantly influenced by the Humboldt Current. Summers are warm, with temperatures of up to 35°C allowing the grapes to reach excellent maturity and concentration of flavours, while retaining balancing, natural acidity. The vines are grown in granitic soils with a clay-loam texture, which is poor in organic matter and offers good drainage.

A bold and intense Syrah with aromatic notes of blackberry, blueberry and raspberry characters, combined with hints of bitter chocolate and black pepper. Round, velvety and full bodied with a rich finish.
