Roberto Echeverría Jr has been the Chief Winemaker at Viña Echeverría since 2001.
Inspired by his French heritage, Roberto’s signature style produces wines with a combination of Old World elegance and New World energy. More European viticultural techniques include timely harvesting to avoid over ripeness and therefore good balance and control of alcohol levels. Focus is on French varietals, barrels and yeasts, as well as longer fermentation and aging in barrels and diverse blending.

Tasting Notes
Aromas of green apples, pineapples and peaches combine nicely with notes of fresh herbs and lemon blossoms. The palate is fresh and tasty, with a round and fruity finish.
Food Pairings
This fresh and fruity wine makes the perfect accompaniment to shellfish or light fish dishes. Because of its herby characteristics, it can match well with light dishes with green herbs, also salads or softer more sour cheeses such as goat’s cheese.
