ALTAZOR
Pure expression of Alto Maipo’s terroir and elegance.
Altazor was born with the Undurraga family’s quest for an exceptional wine, a faithful expression of the Maipo terroir and, thus, honor their history and passion for making high-quality wines. Since 2011, Winemaker Rafael Urrejola has overseen this limited-production blend, which varies slightly each year as it constantly strives to best express the terroir.

Origin
From the best alluvial soils in Alto Maipo – our most classic land – Altazor expresses the character and finesse of Cabernet Sauvignon. Small, significant contributions of other varieties positively transform the blend. Signature wines of Chilean winemaking, like Carménère and Carignan from old, dry-farmed vines in southern Chile, contribute complexity and structure to the wine
It is the highest oenological expression of Viña Undurraga.

Paying homage to the expression of its terroir, Altazor is an exceptional wine, because of its freshness, aromatic layers, balanced concentration and complexity. The backbone of Altazor is Cabernet Sauvignon, which lends the wine the typical characteristics and fine qualities of the Alto Maipo area.
