“We want to make exciting and delightful wines that are connected to the land where they are made, where the cold weather, the rain, the volcanic rock, and the character of the people of Traiguén is reflected in fine, pure, and austere wines with excellent aging potential.”
Francisco Baettig y Carlos de Carlos
Vinos Baettig, a Chilean winery, is a testament to the fusion of Swiss heritage and Chilean terroir. Founded by friends Francisco Baettig and Carlos de Carlos, the winery is located in Traiguén, a region known for its active volcanoes, lush forests, and abundant rainfall, making it ideal for sustainable, dry-farmed viticulture. The vineyard, named Viñedos Los Suizos, sits on a plateau with volcanic soils, where they grow Chardonnay and Pinot Noir using French clonal material.
Baettig's winemaking philosophy is centered on minimal intervention, allowing the grapes' natural expression to shine. They focus on handcrafted wines that reflect the unique terroir, resulting in fine, pure, and elegant wines with a distinct sense of place. Their Selección de Parcelas and Vino de Viñedo lines have received critical acclaim, with their Chardonnay and Pinot Noir offerings consistently scoring in the high 90s. Vinos Baettig is regarded as one of Chile's top wineries, with a promising future in the world of high-quality Chilean wines.
