Viña Maquis is in Palmilla, in the heart of the Colchagua Valley, on an estate where wine has been made since the 18th century, when these lands belonged to the Society of Jesus. In the 19th century it was owned by two presidents of Chile, Federico Errázuriz Zañartu and Federico Errázuriz Echaurren, and in 1916 it was bought by the Hurtado family, who keep it to this day. In 1926-1927 the engineer Ignacio Hurtado, then 23 years old, built the first winemaking and aging cellar, still in use, and in 2002 the family added a new winery. Today the winery is headed by Ricardo Rivadeneira Hurtado, chief executive of Maquis and of Viñedos Calcu, the family's other house, with vineyards in Marchigüe.
The vineyard, more than 100 hectares, stretches between the Tinguiririca River and the Estero Chimbarongo creek, two watercourses that bring cool breezes: they protect the vines from spring frosts and lower the temperature in summer. The soils are alluvial, clay over gravel, and everything is drip-irrigated. The family has replanted with massal selections of Cabernet Franc, Carménère, Syrah, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec, and the wines are made only from estate grapes. The first high-end wine was Lien, a blend from the 2003 vintage based on Cabernet Franc and Carménère; then came Franco, which the winery presents as Chile's first icon Cabernet Franc, and Viola, which joins a Carménère block planted in 1997 with a Cabernet Franc from the 1930s. The Revela line rounds out the offer. The icons are blended with advice from the Bordeaux consultant Eric Boissenot and mature for 12 to 36 months in French oak barrels. Maquis was among the first wineries certified under the Wines of Chile Sustainability Code: it preserves biological corridors, uses sheep to control weeds and heats and cools the winery with a geothermal heat pump.
Visits are booked online at turismo.maquis.cl. The Tour Lien and the Tour Ícono walk the biological corridor designed by the Belgian landscape architect Frank Adriaenssens and end in the Casona (the manor house) with a tasting: three vintages of Lien on the first; Viola and Franco, with an older vintage of each, on the second, which also takes a look at the Chimbarongo creek. There is also a private tour with icons from Maquis and Calcu, a vertical tasting of four vintages for groups of up to eight people, bike rides through the vineyard combined with the tours, a picnic with produce from the valley and a kayak descent of the creek, guided by an adventure tourism agency, that ends with a picnic at the winery. Tastings are for over-18s and the experiences for ages 12 and up; pets are not admitted. There is no restaurant or accommodation.
