Viña Maquis in Colchagua: History, Terroir and Wine Tourism Experiences
Viña Maquis
Tradition, terroir between two rivers, and wines with identity in Colchagua
In the agricultural heart of Palmilla, Viña Maquis stands out as one of the wineries with the strongest identity in the Colchagua Valley. Its history dates back to the 18th century, when the land belonged to the Jesuits, and it has kept a deep connection to winemaking ever since. Today the Hurtado family, owners of the estate since 1916, leads a project that combines tradition, sustainability and a modern vision of Chilean wine. Maquis's signature comes from its unique geography: a vineyard literally set between the Tinguiririca River and the Chimbarongo Creek. This condition creates an exceptional microclimate, with breezes that moderate temperatures and alluvial soils that produce grapes of remarkable concentration and elegance. From this land come wines renowned for their finesse, especially its Carménère, Cabernet Franc and refined red blends. The winery, founded in 1927 and renewed for minimal-intervention processes, complements a craft approach that favors the pure expression of the terroir. Visitors can walk through biological corridors, explore the vineyards on foot and taste wines guided by a team that values history, landscape and authenticity. Viña Maquis stands as an essential stop for those seeking an intimate wine tourism experience deeply connected to the spirit of the Colchagua Valley.
