Viña Machali

From the native “Mapudungun” language, Machali means “the wizard corner”. This is also the name of a very old agricultural locality from Cachapoal river valley, at the east of Rancagua city, where are located the 400 years old houses and warehouses of Machali estate. My fellow vines have been cultivated there for centuries and, influenced by this tradition, Felipe and Alejandro, the descendants of the estate owner decided to revive this noble activity and created Viña Machali ltda. in 2008.
Two cousins, Jean and Jean-Pascal, that grew up in the French Bordeaux region, made me. Henri is in charge of making money out of me, meaning he is the export manager, even if he would prefer to drink me instead... Anyway, this young and fierce team is determined to shake up this haughty wine world and make the wine what it should always have been: a subject of pure and simple enjoyment.
For that matter, we need to be creative and think out of the box. This is what we tried to do in our label, and now in our way of doing marketing. We decided that what really matters is having a direct interaction with the final consumer, the guy who will pay to uncork me and hopefully live some happy moments. This all about that, about the beginning of a relation, in which both of us will share a part of its life.
The internet is the perfect platform to create this interaction and will do our best out of it to create this interaction between you and Machali's people.
