At the foot of the Andes in the Rapel Valley, Viña Los Boldos is one of Chile’s oldest wineries. Established in 1850 and planted with over 620 acres of vines in rocky soil, the winery is reminiscent of the great vineyards in Europe. Los Boldos was named after the type of tree found in the region whose stomach-soothing leaves are used for tea.
In 2008, Viña Los Boldos became part of Sogrape family and continues to combine the extraordinary terroir of the region, a resultof the combined forces of land and sea, with traditional French winemaking techniques. In recent years, Chateau Los Boldos Grand Reserva wines have received coveted recognition from leading editors at Wine Spectator.
Viña Los Boldos is 100% certified sustainable in all three qualifying categories: the vineyard, the winery, and social responsibility, as it supports local residents with year-long programming and employment.
