Andes Plateau
Andes Plateau is a Chilean winery born from the initiative of winemaker Felipe Uribe. After completing his Agricultural studies and working for a few years in San Pedro, he moved to Spain where he followed a Master in Viticulture and Oenology at the University of Madrid. Upon returning to the New World, he worked in Chile for the estate Viña Santa Helena and in the United States, in Sonoma Valley, at La Crema Winery. Later, Felipe Uribe worked as an assistant winemaker and then winemaker at Viña Miravalle, in the Cachapoal Valley. After gaining numerous experiences and enriching his knowledge, he collaborated with Viña William Fevre in the Maipo Valley and received several awards for his professional activity.
The Andes Plateau estate, from its name, aims to be a tribute to the Andes mountain range, the famous mountain chain that crosses the entire South American continent and makes the landscape of Chile unique. The territory of the country, in fact, consists of a thin strip of land located between the coast of the Pacific Ocean and the high Andean peaks, which exceed 6,000 meters in altitude. A geographical conformation that shapes a landscape with unique characteristics in the world. This particular context has proven, since the time of the first Spanish colonization by the Conquistadores, to be very suitable for viticulture, which was introduced at that time in these lands, finding particularly favorable conditions for its development.
The area in which to create the estate was chosen by Felipe Uribe after a long search and numerous inspections aimed at identifying the most suitable place for his wine ideas. In the end, he identified this area in the northern part of the country, with vineyards located mainly in the Maipo Valley, Cajón del Maipo, Maule, and the Cachapoal Valley. The plots are cultivated at a height of about 700 meters above sea level. The cool climate allows for slower ripening, which brings in harvest grapes with intense aromas, but that retain remarkable freshness, capable of giving elegance and balance to the wines. The soils are poor and stony, predominantly alluvial in nature, very draining and suitable for the needs of the vine. The most cultivated grape varieties are the classic international ones: Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Chardonnay.
