Tres Palacios   Maipo, Chile  
 
 
 
  The Viña Tres Palacios winery and vineyards are located in the Cholqui sector of the Maipo Valley, 16 km (10 miles) from the city of Melipilla. Cholqui is a closed valley 9 km (5.6 miles) south of the Maipo River, although it is separated from it by a chain of hills that surrounds the area to the north, east, and south. The Horcón de Piedra Mountain, one of the highest peaks in the Coastal Mountain Range, lies toward the eastern end of the valley. The western side is open to the influence of the Pacific Ocean 30 km (25 miles) away, and cooling breezes from the sea and inter-mountain circulation refresh the vineyards in the summer.

Our enological philosophy is to respect our grapes and express their characteristics in such a way that our wines faithfully reflect the terroir of our vineyards. During vinification, we avoid over-extracting the properties of the grapes in order to obtain well-rounded, well-balanced wines. We use only French oak barrels and believe that the wood should never cover or hide the fruit but rather be a complement to the complexities of our wines. Our wines are well-rounded, ripe, and balanced, and always privilege the fruit over the oak. All of the varieties faithfully reflect the excellent terroir of our Cholqui Valley vineyards. The knowledge of our vines, backed by experience and new technology has allowed us to separate lots in search of unique, high-quality premium wines. Camilo Rahmer, Winemaker Viña Tres Palacios
