The Altair Winery sits amongst the vineyards in the Cachapoal Valley of Central Chile and is a French Chilean collaboration with a vision of making a truly world class wine that could rival the 'top growths' of Bordeaux.

Customer ratings

Bought for a special occasion. Well above my normal budget, but really worth it ! Decanted, sipped and enjoyed with a nice steak and nice friends - absolute delight.

Certainly a very drinkable wine but cannot compete with a similarly priced Bordeaux (on which it's based) for complexity and length. 2008 was also the worst Chilean vintage in the last decade. If you want to spend £50 on a bottle of wine, there are better wine experiences out there but this is still a lovely drink.
