About Odfjell Vineyards
A history of enormous passion that started over 25 years ago, the pioneering Norwegian Armador, (ship owner) Dan Odfjell discovered and fell in love with a small corner of the famous Maipo Valley in Chile. Born of rain in Bergen, Norway, he could not resist the attraction of the austral sun in this Virgilian setting. In that moment he decided to build a premium winery with the highest quality standards that reflects the uniqueness of the place with deep respect for the environment.
Odfjell has been a pioneer in the organic and biodynamic management of their properties and also in the winemaking, being the first gravity flow winery in South America and the first winery to produce 100% Carignan wine in Premium category.
Odfjell Vineyards believes in sustainability as a guiding principle and strives to use this pioneering spirit to capture the best of Chile in a bottle.
