Arboleda, Aconcagua

Arboleda, Eduardo Chadwick's personal project in the Aconcagua Valley, was born in 1999 as a tribute to Chile's native trees that have been preserved in the sustainably managed vineyards.

Working with respect for the environment and in harmony with nature, the understanding of terroir, a passionate team, and the vision for excellence are the pillars of Arboleda's distinct world-class wines.

The Valle de Aconcagua was the place chosen for Arboleda, which is 100 km north of Santiago, the capital of Chile. The cold coastal winds that blow in from the Pacific Ocean toward the Andes Mountains, along with a Mediterranean climate allow the grapes to ripen slowly, intensifying the flavors and concentration of their wines. The winds begin at the Pacific Coast, pass through their Chilhué vineyard near the sea, continue up the Aconcagua River Basin, and blow through their Las Vertientes vineyard, moderating the temperatures of our grapes, until they reach the foot of the impressive Mount Aconcagua, the highest peak in the Andes Mountains.

Arboleda aims to make exclusive, elegant, and innovative wines from the sustainably managed single vineyards Las Vertientes and Chilhué in the Aconcagua Valley. Working with respect for the environment and in harmony with nature, the understanding of terroir, a passionate team and the vision for excellence, are the pillars of Arboleda’s distinct world-class wines. The sustainable principles in winemaking deliver top standards of environmental quality based on the objective of making high quality wines, protecting the health of the consumers and workers, respecting the environment, working together with the community, and preserving nature for the future generations.
