His celebrated wine, Antiyal, is often referred to as Chile’s first “garage wine.” Antiyal produces fewer than 400 cases of wine a year in the sleepy Maipo Valley town of Alta Jahuel. Antiyal—a Mapuche word that means “sons of the sun,” is a homegrown project. It’s so homegrown that the one-acre vineyard around Espinoza’s house supplies most of the wine’s biodynamic grapes. Among the very best wines being produced in South America and comprising of 49% Carmenère, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 16% Syrah. Aged in French barrels for eighteen months, then aged in bottle for six months.

Antiyal Alvaro Espinoza
Founded in 1996 by Alvaro Espinoza and Marina Ashton, although Alvaro has been tending to vineyards in Chile for over 25 years. He spent many years perfecting his craft at the internationally renowned Carmen winery before following his life-long dream to run his own estate in 1996. The duo bravely struck out on their own, purchasing just one hectare of land where they planted Cabernet Sauvignon. After two years and much hard work, Alvaro knew his wines were ready to bottle and they released the first vintage of Antiyal in 1998. Today Antiyal is arguably the benchmark for all Chilean reds and is critically acclaimed by critics and consumers alike around the world.Location
