      “Wines that aim to enchant with their freshness and intensity”

      This unique wine is sourced from a combination of parcels from cool areas located in the Coastal Range of DO Maule that deliver lively and juicy wines with tremendous fruit intensity.

      Los Compadres ( co – fathers or close friends related because one is the godfather of the other one’s child) refers to the friendship and partnership with growers of Cabernet Sauvignon that have trusted Vinos Baettig with grapes coming from the best lots of dry farmed vineyards with 30 or more years. These special parcels are close in term of quality and style providing different components to Vinos Baettig Cabernet Sauvignon.

      The first vintage of Vino de Viñedo (vineyards selection) was 2021.

      Francisco Baettig’s inaugural 2022 Los Compadres is a real cause for excitement. The celebrated Chilean winemaker and Cabernet Sauvignon specialist has been responsible for some exceptional Seña and Chadwick bottlings during his time as Errazuriz winemaker. This Cabernet Sauvignon is made from ancient dry-farmed vines in Maule. In keeping with the style of all Baettig’s own-label bottlings, these centuries-old, cool-climate Cabernet vines produce wines with incredible structure, freshness and complexity. The reliable Chilean sunshine also brings wonderful concentrated pure fruit notes to the wine. This inaugural Cabernet Sauvignon release is a blend of three vineyards. One of these sites consists of 120-year-old Pais vines grafted with Cabernet Sauvignon 60 years ago. The other two cool-climate sites are located in Chile’s coastal mountains, Cordillera de la Costa. At altitude, these dry-farmed vines ripen slowly and retain amazing energy. The nose of the 2022 Los Compadres Cabernet Sauvignon is fantastic – loads of floral potpourri aromas, violets, fresh blackcurrants, black cherry and Black Forest gateaux notes. The wine has impressive structural tannins that give a crunchy bite to the palate. The fruit remains very fresh while the added liquorice spice and peppery notes from some quality oak add complexity. It is almost Pauillac-esque with its graphite minerality thanks to the deep gravel soils found in this part of Maule. This is much drier and fresher than is typical of Cabernet from Chile but a fantastic fruit concentration is retained. The wine is aged in 30% new oak and older ex-Almaviva and Seña barrels for 18 months. Give this two to three years in bottle for the tannins to fully integrate and this will be singing.

    “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.
