✨ Technical Specifications
Anderra, a poetic portmanteau of 'Andes' and 'Tierra' (land), represents Baron Philippe de Rothschild's tribute to the dramatic terroirs of Chile. This Carmenere celebrates the extraordinary journey of a grape variety that was once a staple of Bordeaux but was thought lost to the phylloxera epidemic of the 19th century, only to be rediscovered thriving in Chile over a century later. Sourced from selected vineyards across the Central Valley, this wine is crafted using traditional winemaking expertise adapted to the Southern Hemisphere. It undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel to preserve its vibrant fruit character, resulting in a wine that beautifully balances Chilean intensity with Bordeaux-style elegance, marked by signature notes of black plum, cocoa, and subtle cracked black pepper.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1933 by the pioneering Baron Philippe de Rothschild, Baron Philippe de Rothschild SA is an internationally revered wine company anchored in Pauillac, Bordeaux. Alongside governing Premier Grand Cru Classé flagship Château Mouton Rothschild, the house crafts benchmark négociant and estate wines extending across Bordeaux, the Languedoc, and Chile's Maipo and Casablanca Valleys. The viticultural approach pairs high-standard sustainable practices—notably Haute Valeur Environnementale (HVE) certification and eco-friendly plot selection—with meticulous varietal expression. Across maritime Médoc gravels, Mediterranean limestone clay, and Pacific-cooled Chilean alluvial deposits, winemakers craft crisp, aromatic, and structured white expressions. Notable bottlings include Bordeaux blends such as Sélection Agneau Blanc and Berger Baron Blanc, Languedoc single-varietals like Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc, alongside Chilean representations like Escudo Rojo Chardonnay Reserva and Las Huertas Chardonnay. Each cuvée reflects the firm's exacting balance of pure fruit vibrancy, textural precision, and classical restraint.
