About

Odfjell wines come from a family-owned winery committed to making vibrant organic wines of the highest quality that express the unique personality of the vineyards by following principles of organic and biodynamic agriculture.

Vintage Notes

The Maule Valley was affected by a decrease in rainfall and average temperatures reached higher numbers than previous seasons. However, the quality of the grapes was exceptional, giving wines with great balance between volume, freshness and acidity.

Tasting Notes

Dark red in color with an intense and complex nose of spices and ripe red fruits such as cherries, raspberries, and plums mixed with aromas of blackberries and anise. The palate is juicy and powerful with velvety-soft tannins providing a long and satisfying finish.
