Caliterra's juicy Chardonnay is from Chile's high-altitude vineyards of Aconcagua, the lower slopes of the highest peak in the Andes.

70% fermented in stainless steel tanks and 30% in used oak barrels of second and third use utilising a mixture of native and selected yeasts. 30% of the wine was aged in old barrels for 4 months.

The wine is zesty, nutty, palate-filling and delicious.

Caliterra

Caliterra Winery, located in the heart of the Colchagua Valley, Chile, is deeply rooted in the region's rich viticultural history. It was founded in 1996 as a joint venture between Chile's esteemed Viña Errázuriz, known for its innovation and legacy, and the renowned Robert Mondavi Winery from California. This collaboration sought to create excellent wines that would reflect the diversity and potential of Chilean terroirs while incorporating sustainable and innovative winemaking practices.

In 2004, Viña Errázuriz assumed full ownership of Caliterra. The name "Caliterra" blends the Spanish words calidad (quality) and tierra (land), emphasizing its commitment to producing wines of exceptional quality that honour the land they come from.

Caliterra focuses on crafting wines that capture the essence of the Colchagua Valley. This region is celebrated for its Mediterranean climate and ideal conditions for varieties such as Carmenère, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah.

The Country

Chile

Chile

Chilean winemakers will tell you that this country is an almost perfect environment to grow wine grapes: a favourable climate, that has its fair share of cool, warm and hot spots, allowing for a wide range of styles and varieties to be grown. It is relatively pest and disease free, due to having the Andes on one side and the Pacific Ocean on the other, and of course it has the legacy of Spanish culture. It has somewhat made Carmenere its spiritual home, but aside from that variety there is a huge array of others grown here from the Rieslings of Bio Bio to the Syrahs of San Antonio, and all shades in-between.
