“One of the best carmenère I have tasted is from Viña Maquis in the Colchagua Valley of Chile, a wine region known for its red wines, about 200 kilometres south of Santiago. Their Maquis Viola is a magnificent wine made from the best carmenère grapes on the estate and a touch of cabernet franc. ”
“Viña Maquis has a unique location between two rivers. This plays a significant role in Viña Maqui’s wines. We meet Ricardo Rivadeneira Hurtado, owner and CEO of Viña Maquis, out in the vineyard and he describes the phenomenal location of the estate. ‘The river breeze protects perfectly from frost damage,’ he says.”
