Frequently Asked Questions
- Who makes Antiyal and what makes it unique?
- Antiyal is made by Alvaro Espinoza, one of South America's pioneers of biodynamic viticulture. From just 8 hectares in Maipo, he produces tiny quantities of a Carmenère-led blend of remarkable depth and purity.
- What is Carmenère and why is Chile famous for it?
- Carmenère is a 'lost' Bordeaux variety that nearly disappeared due to phylloxera, but was accidentally preserved in Chile. It produces wines with distinctive green-herb, spice, and dark fruit character unique to Chilean terroir.
- How is Antiyal different from other Chilean wines?
- Antiyal is farmed biodynamically with no chemical inputs and made with minimal intervention—indigenous yeasts, no additions. The result is a uniquely pure expression of Maipo terroir unusual for Chilean reds.
