Carmen winery is a stark concrete box, a modern anomaly amidst a landscape of rugged hills and dirt roads in a rural corner of the Maipo Valley. But it suits Alvaro Espinoza just fine. The winemaker, who designed the technologically advanced winery, is making some of Chile’s best wines.
Carmen is one of Chile’s oldest brands, established in the 1850s in the first wave of the Chilean wine industry. It changed ownership several times through the years, until the brand was bought in 1988 by Ricardo Claro.
Claro hired Espinoza in 1992. The young winemaker, son of one of Chile’s most respected enologists, had studied enology at the Catholic University in Santiago, then at the University of Bordeaux in France. After working at Château Margaux and Moët & Chandon, he returned to Chile in 1989 to set up Domaine Oriental, a boutique winery backed by Tahitian-French investors.
