Santiago Achurra Larrain founded the winery in 1961 and alongside new generations of his family, has grown the
winery to be amongst Chile’s top 20 producers. The vineyards are located in the Curico Valley, where a mild Mediterranean-like climate and varied soils offer superb conditions for growing many different varieties.
In the 2000s, François and his brother Jacques found the perfect location in the Colchagua Valley. They bought 200 hectares there, in an area that had never been used for viticulture at the time. However, this region is a prime location for viticulture, between the oceanic climate, the thermal amplitude, and the different microclimates. Taking advantage of their expertise acquired throughout the world and environmentally friendly viticulture, they make remarkable wines with a unique personality.
Viña Alto Roble is located near the beautiful town of Yerbas Buenas in Chile’s Maule Region. In 1993 founders Francisco Achurra and Patricio Larraín began searching for new terroirs in which they could produce a wider range of varieties and styles. Alto Roble means ‘tall oak tree’, representing strength, stability and nobility, something they aim to reflect in their wines.
