A terroir of excellence at altitude in the Maipo Valley
Pirque is one of the areas with the longest winemaking history in Chile. From the first vineyards planted in the Maipo region by Spanish colonizers in the 16th century to today’s modern techniques, this territory has brought together agricultural tradition, enological knowledge, and a strong identity closely linked to wine.
Over time, Pirque has become a place of innovation, more environmentally friendly practices, and cultural changes that have shaped both its landscape and the way Chile’s finest wines are produced. Here, viticulture is not just an economic activity; it is part of the local culture.
Pirque’s landscape stands out for its balance between nature and vineyards. Its proximity to the Andes creates warm days and cool nights, while the Maipo River contributes freshness and diverse soils. Terraces, rolling hills, and Andean soils form an ideal mosaic for vine growing—an environment shaped by generations that has given rise to an internationally recognized terroir.
Thanks to these conditions, Pirque is one of the country’s most important denominations of origin. Its grapes achieve great concentration, balance, and very clear varietal expression, as confirmed by agronomic and enological studies. Alto Maipo, where Pirque plays a leading role, is renowned worldwide for its high-quality red wines.
Pirque’s wines stand out for their uniqueness, elegance, and authenticity. They express the defining traits of a territory shaped by altitude, mountain climate, and soils of Andean origin, resulting in deep aromas, mineral notes, marked freshness, and an intensity that evolves over time. Each vintage confirms the consistency of a terroir that has preserved its identity despite changes in the market and the industry.
Ultimately, Pirque stands as a benchmark, demonstrating how geography, history, and human craftsmanship can come together to produce truly exceptional wines.
