Joining me LIVE from Chile is Cristian Mubert Export Director for Viña Estampa. Had the pleasure of meeting Cristian several weeks ago when he passed through Wichita. An interesting guy from a fine Chilean winery with some amazing motorcycle adventures promoting the wines of Viña Estampa. Follow Cristian on Face Book, Twitter and Instagram.
Viña Estampa began in 2001 as the result of the vision and entrepreneurial spirit of Miguel González-Ortiz, the winery’s owner and current president. From the beginning the winery focused on innovation and modern techniques to create world-class wines that would fully express the characteristics of the different varieties and their origin, the Colchagua Valley.
Estampa is the only winery in Chile that specializes in the production of blends, a technique that consists of carefully combining two or more fine varieties, each contributing its best characteristics, to create wines with tremendous balance and unique personality.
The technique of blending consists of carefully combining two or more varieties to craft a single wine. Each variety contributes its finest characteristics to the blend to create a beautifully balanced wine with unique personality. This method has enabled Estampa to achieve wines that are unique in their balance, character, and expression with their own identity that distinguishes them from the rest. Estampa is the only winery in the New World with blends for all of its lines of products.
The creative spirit, the technical quality, and a great love of the land enable the creation of exceptional wines that are a true contribution to the Chilean wine industry and make Viña Estampa a world-class winery.
