Winery review: Chateau Los Boldos (Chile)

Chateau Los Boldos has been present in Vietnam for almost 10 years, and you can find a selection of their wines at the Wine Warehouse.

This winery was created in 1991 with the aim of producing Premium wines from Chile. Its founder envisioned wines that would benefit from century old French winemaking techniques combined with Chile’s terroir potential and ability to produce outstanding wines. Their idea was to do something unique and different.

This dream was materialized in a single vineyard property and winery in Cachapoal Andes region, 100 km. south of Santiago, gathering unique conditions for Chateau Los Boldos to produce its wines.

The vineyard that existed previous to Chateau Los Boldos boosted an amazing opportunity and potential for production of Icon wines due to its old plantations. To name a few, Chateau Los Boldos benefits from a Cabernet Sauvignon parcel planted in 1948 and a Merlot parcel planted in 1959.

In 2008 Chateau Los Boldos became part of Sogrape Family, the largest wine producer of Portugal who became famous for Mateus rose. Seeing the terroir quality and nobility, Sogrape instigated a vast program of reform and investment.

Today Chateau Los Boldos is present in over 40 countries and strives every day to deliver high quality wines to its customers. Quality, sustainability and aim for perfection matched with a passion for wines makes Chateau Los Boldos to continue its quest for more and face the future with excitement and enthusiasm.

Completely renewed in 2012, Chateau Los Boldos winery architecture boosts its Old World heritage and influence.

With a 4 million litre capacity, selection table, temperature controlled stainless steel tanks of 5.000 and 20.000 litres, French and American oak barrels, Chateau Los Boldos Winery gathers all needed capabilities to produce outstanding wines.

The entire winemaking process is conducted with utmost care and every single step is closely monitored by our Winemaker and his team.

Chateau Los Boldos also possesses a modern bottling line with an output potential of 4.000 bottles
per hour, assuring that all our wines are estate bottled under the most appropriate conditions.

The wines’ style is characterised by using French oak mixed with American oak for maturing. The wines are not the typical “big” wines that you would expect from Chile, but wines with more elegance, more acidity and more complexity, giving Customers the opportunity to enjoy French style wines at Chilean prices!

The Chateau Range, the most popular in Vietnam, was the first to be released by Chateau Los Boldos in 1993. From Cuvée Tradition up to Grand Reserve, Vielles Vignes and Grand Cru, wines in this range gather the best of traditional French winemaking techniques and the uniqueness of our terroir.

All grapes are sourced at their own Cachapoal-Andes vineyard and wines are estate bottled. Only French oak is used for the ageing of the Chateau Range and wines reflect the purest expression of each grape varietal, where elegance and complexity prevails.

The icon wine, Amalia, is a new wine boosting with a Shiraz blend. Absolutely gorgeous with just 12.000 bottles being released per year.

The Wine Warehouse recently presented a selection of Chateau Los Boldos wines at Cobalt restaurant in HCMC. An ideal opportunity to enjoy these gorgeous wines, and mingle with other wine lovers.
