Chilean-German boutique winery in Sagrada Familia, founded by winemaker Klaus Schröder and Katharina Hanke; its 4.090 and 6.330 lines are named for the heights of two Andean volcanoes.
Viña AltaCima presents itself as a Chilean-German boutique winery, founded by winemaker Klaus Schröder and Katharina Hanke in Sagrada Familia, in the Lontué area of the Curicó Valley. Schröder studied winemaking and vineyard management in Germany and came to Chile in 1965 as winemaker for Viña San Pedro; according to the South America Wine Guide he also worked at Errázuriz and Santa Rita. He married Hanke in 1971, and three years later the couple bought and planted 62 hectares in the Lontué valley; after the 2010 earthquake the winery was already speaking of more than 70. Their own cellar was completed in 2000, when they left consulting and brokerage to devote themselves to it, and the 2001 harvest produced the first AltaCima 6.330.
The names of its lines look to the Andes: 6.330 is the height in meters of the Parinacota volcano, and 4.090 that of Peteroa. The 6.330 range has a red blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Petit Verdot, Carménère and Merlot, a Sauvignon Blanc and a late-harvest Gewürztraminer; the 4.090, at Reserva level, adds Syrah, Carménère, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. The Gewürztraminer reflects Schröder's German heritage. The winery, with a great curved wooden roof over the steel tanks, has a lookout at the top that frames the vines and the Peteroa, Planchón and Descabezado Grande volcanoes.
Its current website publishes no visits, prices or online sales, and the virtual store that worked in 2023 no longer responds. For years the winery received groups with a tour of the cellar, a tasting at the lookout and home cooking in the family house, and even announced a boutique wine hotel, but there is no confirmation that this offer is still in place; in 2024 Chile.travel still listed it among the valley's wineries to visit, without booking details. To ask about a visit or where to buy its wines, the best option is to call +56 9 5208 0119 or write to informacion@altacima.cl before going. Google Maps lists the place as a wine shop, open Monday to Friday, and the photos on its website show the winery pouring its wines at an open-air fair.
