TRADITIONAL

Viña Marty was established in 2008 when Winemaker Pascal Marty set out to do his own project in Chile.

Marty had been with Baron Phillipe Rothschild in Bordeaux for 14 years before he became one of the key Oenologists/Directors responsible for setting up Opus One in California and then Almaviva in Chile; two world class iconic wines that form part of the Rothchild’s portfolio. These are the outposts joint ventures based in two important New World wine regions for Bordeaux varieties; Napa Valley and Maipo Valley respectively. After his time with the bordelaise giant Pascal decides to remain in Chile and set his roots on Chilean soil with an array of winemaking consultancies before he goes solo to create Viña Marty.

Pascal’s experience with Carménère dates back to the era of when the Chilean industry was just getting to know and understand the variety. This was not an easy task for many producers at those times, as resources for research, trial and error were scarce for the smaller vigneron and the progress would generally be led by the big names.

Today Carménère is Chile’s pride and joy with many versions that have created identity for the long thin country and proving to be of great appeal to numerous wine consumers of the world.
