ALTA CIMA

Alta Cima is firmly linked with Schröder-Hanke family. Originally from Germany, Klaus Schröder and Katharina Hanke have lived and worked in Chile for over 40 years. Klaus studied at Weinsberg and Geisenheim in Germany and has been a contracting winemaker to a multitude of Chilean wineries and Katharina has imported and exported wine for many years.

They started their own project, Alta Cima, in 1974 with the establishments of vineyards in the Lontué Valley, one of two appellations within the DO of the Curico Valley, about 2 hours South of the capital, Santiago. In 2000 they saw their dream materialise - the construction of their new winery. The winery was built with world class winemaking technology and a harmonic and unique architectural design in mind. At this stage, Alta Cima produce only the Alta Cima 6.330 Cabernet blend. The wine is named after one of the highest volcanoes visible from the winery. The Estate consists of 127ha, 62ha of which are under vine.
