Press Reviews

Travel + Leisure, June 2006:

"A small winery making big waves in organic winemaking and 21st-century enotourism. Drop your bags at the guesthouse, a century-old estancia set among wild gardens and furnished with regal four-poster beds and wingback chairs, thick damask curtains, and lots of florals and stripes. Explore the valley on foot, horseback, or bicycle, or visit the family cheese operation (the Matetics make a killer sheep's-milk cheese), and cap the afternoon off with a tour of the winery, a stunning hillside facility with a theatrical oval barrel cellar and a pair of grand tasting rooms with a waterfall. The almost black EQ Syrah—big, round, and spicy—is the star here, but be sure to try the pleasingly aromatic New World Pinot Noir, with its bright ruby hue."

Frommer's:

"Located within its own 11,000-hectare (27,000-acre) valley not far from the Pacific, Matetic's multimillion-dollar, gravity-flow winery is sunken into a sloping hill, and it is one of the most architecturally avant-garde wineries in Chile. They are also experts in determining just the right terroir to produce Chile's EQ syrahs, judged one of the world's top 100 wines by Wine Spectator magazine in 2006. Matetic is simply one of the most exciting and swish wineries in Chile to visit, and they've recently opened a new gourmet restaurant and (very expensive) guest home. Apart from wine tours, Matetic's agrotourism offerings include horseback riding, harvest tours, and blueberry picking, making this winery also a good bet for kids."
