Haras de Pirque –
Chilean red wines with a Tuscan influence
Haras de Pirque is located in the Pirque subregion, in the heart of the Maipo Valley – one of Chile's most prestigious red wine regions. Eduardo Matte acquired the 600-hectare estate in 1991, 120 hectares of which are now planted with grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère, and Syrah. The striking horseshoe-shaped main building hints at the estate's other passion: a working horse farm, which gives the winery its name.
Since partnering with the Marchesi Antinori from Tuscany – one of Italy's most influential wine families – Tuscan craftsmanship has flowed into Pirque's cellars. In 2004, the first joint cuvée project, Albis, was created: a wine that combines Chilean terroir and Italian winemaking tradition. This collaboration has since shaped the style of the entire range – structured, age-worthy, and with a clear connection to its origin.
The soils of the Pirque subregion, characterized by alluvial deposits from the Andes and a pronounced day-night temperature difference, provide the foundation for red wines with both depth and freshness. Anyone looking for Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon with a European touch will find a compelling answer at Haras de Pirque.
