Haras de Pirque Albis Cabernet Sauvignon Carménère Maipo Valley

Haras de Pirque estate was born with the quest to produce high quality organic wines and explore Chile’s vast winemaking potential while focusing on expressing the Maipo Valley’s extraordinary terroir. The name “Haras de Pirque” is a tribute to the country’s oldest thoroughbred farm, established in 1892. The thoroughbred racetrack still surrounds the estate’s vineyards and the state-of-the-art winery.

In the early 2000’s, Marchese Piero Antinori was captivated by the Haras de Pirque estate, which at that time was an impressive thoroughbred stud farm nestled in the Andes Mountain range. As the finest wines are crafted in terroirs with distinctive elements and natural beauty, likewise a good winemaker and his vineyard complement each other, ultimately expressing perfect harmony in each wine.

Albis is an elegant and captivating blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Carménère and its name celebrates the dawn of a new day in viticulture. It represents the unification of two hemispheres, the Old and New Worlds, with the specific aim of crafting a great wine in the heart of the Maipo Valley.
