About us

From the native “Mapudungun” language, Machali means “the wizard corner”. This is also the name of a very old agricultural locality from Cachapoal river valley, at the east of Rancagua city, where are located the 400 years old houses and warehouses of Machali estate. My fellow vines have been cultivated there for centuries and, influenced by this tradition, Felipe and Alejandro, the descendants of the estate owner decided to revive this noble activity and created Viña Machali Ltda in 2008.

Our team

My winemakers are Jean and Jean-Pascal, two cousins who grew up in the French Bordeaux region. Henri and Alberto are in charge of making money out of me.

This young and fierce team is determined to shake up this haughty wine world and make the wine what it should always have been: a subject of pure and simple enjoyment.

From light to darkness

You should know what I had to pass through before arriving in your dinning table. I used to be free indeed, sunbathing, untill they picked me... After 1 month in a cold tank, I had to stay another 12 months in a barrel. This may sound normal, but just try to picture yourself fighting for your soul while the oak surrounds you. This is where Jean helps me out not to be overwhelmed and to actually win this fight. 
I ended up in a bottle, and had to wait another couple of months (at least) to arrive in the stove where you found me. Then maybe you will put me in your cellar and I may have to wait again for months or years. 

After all this time locked up, you should understand why the cork poping sound is so rhapsodic, and why I need to express myself with so much intensity in your glass.

Ratings

Vina Machali 2008: 91 points
This wine's succulent texture fills the mouth with ripe flavors. While the heat seems excessive,everything else is seductive-from the meaty notes of smoke and leather to the mentholated finish. For boar.
