Caliterra, whose name drives from “la calidad de la tierra,” represents quality (calidad) and the land (tierra) of Chile.

Consisting of a series of Reservas and Tributes that are produced from the Colchagua, Curico and Casablanca Valleys, a key element in Caliterra’s philosophy is the incorporation of sustainable natural viticulture practices. Fruitiness and a definite style—modern, fresh and distinctive, with the particularities provided by each variety, mark the characteristics of Caliterra wines.

Viña Caliterra was created in 1996 as a partnership between the families of Robert Mondavi of Robert Mondavi Winery and Eduardo Chadwick of Vina Errazuriz to craft wines that stand out for the fruity, fresh and distinctive style of each variety, expressing the quality of Chile’s terroir and fruit. In January of 2004, the Chadwick family became the sole owner of Caliterra.

Combining the best of the new world with the distinctive fruit and best traditions of Chile, Caliterra represents a passion for quality that aims to create modern, innovative wines that express Chile’s potential as a world-class appellation.

This joyful, well-structured wine with legs is good for up to a decade.


Caliterra Merlot Reserva

Our Caliterra Reserva Merlot shows a very attractive and lively look with a deep color. The intense aromas of flowers, especially violets and lilies, intermingles with cherry and jam notes. The aromatic stage is accompanied by a touch of cedar and cinnamon, which makes this wine complex. On the palate, the wine is soft with medium body and a smooth length.


Caliterra Sauvignon Blanc Reserva

Caliterra Reserva Sauvignon Blanc is one of the best years on record. It has an impeccable first sight and the nose is seducing with a lovely varietal typicity. The wine is vibrant and fresh, with a perfectly balanced acidity, showcasing the best characteristics of Sauvignon Blanc. Its bouquet bursts with aromas of herbs and freshly cut grass mingled with the scents of myriad tropical fruit. The broad yet very balanced array of flavors balance is an absolute pleasure on the palate.


Caliterra Carménère Reserva

Our Caliterra Reserva Carménère has a wonderful color that stands out from other varieties. In aroma, it displays a touch of chocolate disguised by an exotic fruit, similar to papaya. There are displays of violets and a very tiny hint of basil. On the palate, the wine is extremely smooth at the beginning and soft at the middle. The tannins are young and add taste to the wine along with a bold unbalance that shows more courage and freshness rather than warmth and heaviness. Long finish.


Caliterra Cabernet Sauvignon Tributo

This outstanding Cabernet Sauvignon presents a youthful and solid lively red color. Its intense aroma profile presents a very nicely interwoven combination of black pepper, anise, blackberries and a touch of tobacco. A complete well-structured palate with a tasty final balance gives this wine a long-lasting finish.


Caliterra Malbec Tributo

This wine has an excellent appearance and exhibits an attractive, deep-dark red color. A stream of red fruit dominates on the nose, even though it has aged in barrels for more than a year. Reminiscences of dried plums come to the mind together with dried fruit aromas complemented by a mocha background. On the palate, the wine tastes sweet, but this is only the flavor of the ripe tannins since technically this is a dry wine.


Caliterra Chardonnay Tributo

This wine's personality stands out from the start, with a very noticeable color—pale yellow with a greenish tint—that sets it apart. The nose advises immediately that this wine has taken the road less traveled. Its predominant citric and mineral notes are accompanied by pineapple and honey. The relationship it developed with French oak in the winery is evident in the marriage of fruitiness and woodiness, which resist separation and instead combine to provoke a purely pleasant sensation.


Caliterra Carménère Tributo

This wine features a deep-dark color with ruby rim. Its aromatic richness is intense and pleasant and displays notes of moist tobacco leaves, dried fruit and chocolate—all characteristics of wines make from sufficiently ripe grapes. This wine is generous in the glass and boasts a lush mouthfeel. Its excellent balance, rich bouquet and soft tannins lead to a long finish.


Caliterra Cenit

Grapes used for this wine are sourced from selected lots from the Caliterra Estate in the Colchogua Valley. To ensure the quality of this icon wine, the fruit was hand-harvested before being hand selected twice, first for bunch quality, then for individual grape quality. At all stages, the selection criteria was very strict in order to guarantee that only the best grapes are used for crafting this wine. The wine shows its extraordinary quality and character at first sight, not only because of the deep color, but also because of the broad array of intense fragrances that burst out of the glass. The uniqueness of Cenit among Chilean wines is seen in its complexity of layers, and it offers a broad array of sensations.
