“I can testify that over the period of more than three decades of our relationship, no Chilean producer has ever exceeded Viña Echeverría in the quality of their outstanding red and white wines.”

We have been delighted to represent the wines from the Echeverria family for 20 years now in the UK and have always valued the close relationship that comes from working with a family concern. Roberto is now taking over the reins in winemaking from his father and in addition to the estate wines, has been busy sourcing grapes from different areas within Chile in order to lend regional complexity to the range of wines on offer. Echeverria wines are extremely popular with our sales staff and customers alike who are always pleased to see family members when they visit the UK.
Steven Campbell, President Lifford Wine & Spirits
“To discover as we did in 1996 the vision of the Echeverria family and to watch the family carefully, persistently and steadfastly pursue their goals and dreams, has been a true pleasure. We have witnessed the progress in the vineyards and at the winery and have seen the results in the glass. If you are looking for world class wines from a truly, dedicated family that comes together to craft excellent wines that over deliver at every price point, then look no further. These are wines that our clients have grown to love and your clients will too”.
Kenneth Christie, former Chairman, The Institute of Masters of Wine
“I first encountered the wines of the Echeverria family through their agent in the UK, a traditional wine importer, Hallgarten Druitt Novum, who had established their own name as a high class agency importer. The early imports were presented at a London trade tasting where I enjoyed a memorable but outstanding Sauvignon Blanc bearing the Echeverria label. The wine came from Molina in the Curico Valley, a region that, at that time, was practically unknown in the United Kingdom.
The quality of the wines enjoyed at that first exposure was of a sufficient level of excellence to make the Echeverria Family Estate an important post of call during an early visit to Chile, where I was a member of the first group from the Institute Masters of Wine, was making their first official visit to South America. This occasion enabled the group to taste and, later, to discuss the merits of the wines we had been offered by Roberto Echeverria, which included fine Merlots, beautifully harmonious Cabernet Sauvignons, the little known varietal, Carmenère, the reds being followed by classic whites, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. The opinion of the group was uniformly positive, with every member of the Master of Wine group praising the vineyard architecture, the excellence of the winery conditions and lay-out but most of all the outstanding quality of the entire range of wines. Within a few years, I returned to this outstanding producer of Chilean wines with a number of Canadian afficionados. My earlier impressions were instantly renewed whilst the group, from the Opimian Society, Canada’s leading wine club, agreed that Echeverria Family Estates and wines should become suppliers to the Opimian Wine Society across the whole of Canada.
More than thirty years have elapsed since my first exposure to wines made by Roberto Echeverria and subsequently, other members of his family, but throughout this long relationship they have remained cherished associates providing an unbroken line of great wines made with both passion and skill. Indeed I can testify that over the period of more than three decades of our relationship no Chilean producer has ever exceeded Echeverria in the quality of their outstanding red and white wines”.

“VINA ECHEVERRIA was the first winery that we worked with, since we started from the very beginning of 2009. Now 6 years has been past, and we are still working together side by side to develop Chinese market.
醉乐庄园我们在2009年踏入葡萄酒行业所合作的第一个酒庄。如今已经过去了6个年头,我们的合作一如既往,在开发中国葡萄酒市场的道路上并肩作战。
China is a quite young and changeable market for wine business, and it’s not easy to see such consistency between importer and supplier. However, we’ve always been lucky to work with a supplier like ECHEVERRIA, a family winery who’s really committed to long-term business relationship. That’s also what we are seeking for.
对于葡萄酒行业而言,中国是一个非常多变的新兴市场,所以供应商与进口商之间往往很难达成长期而稳定的合作关系。而在在这样的大环境下,能找到和我们企业发展方向一致、并重视长期合作的醉乐庄园,我们深感幸运与珍惜。
As a boutique family-owned winery, ECHEVERRIA never stops contenting us as well as our clients with high-quality products. They are classic in their way of doing business, while modern and updated with the latest trend.
虽然只是一个家族拥有的小型酒庄,但是醉乐一直以其高品质的葡萄酒,满足我们以及我们的客户不断变化的需求。
During our cooperation, we always feel valued and respected whenever we had some issue. The problems will be solved efficiently and smoothly, thanks to the dedicated team of ECHEVERRIA, whose members might have been working for ages with the family.
在过去的合作中,每当我们遇到问题的时候,醉乐的团队总会第一时间为我们寻找解决方案,充分让我们感受到他们对进口商的尊重与重视。团队里的每一位成员都尽心竭力地在岗位上付出,不少人已经和醉乐家族共事近十年。
To summarize, I on behalf of KINGBOND, more than glad and honored to be a partner of VINA ECHEVERRIA, and may our collaboration continues along with both making great progress in the future!
最后,我想代表我的公司——上海添邦酒业——感谢醉乐庄园,我们非常高兴以及荣幸能与醉乐酒庄成为彼此的重要合作伙伴。祝愿我们与醉乐庄园的合作能百尺竿头、更进一步!”
HECTOR VERGARA, MASTER SOMMELIER, DIRECTOR OF CAVAS REUNIDAS AND EL MUNDO DEL VINO, CHILE
“I have been privileged to have known the Echeverria family since the early 1990s, and I remember perfectly the first time I ran into Roberto Echeverría and his wife Gloria at the Almac Fresh Market in Estoril. They spoke to me about their wines and from that first moment I realized that in front of me were people whose world revolved entirely around family and, guided by father Roberto, a passion for wine.
Since then Viña Echeverría, always respectful of Chile’s great winemaking heritage, has ventured into the future with a focus on innovation and a fresh, pure approach to this noble work of making excellent wines to be enjoyed at the table. In this way they fulfill a promise to bring happiness to the hearts of men!”
