About the winery · Root:1 ›
Root:1 focuses on modern, approachable Chilean wines from Maipo, Casablanca, and Colchagua. The brand highlights Chile's distinctive viticultural setting, where geographic isolation helped protect ungrafted European rootstock from phylloxera. Casablanca's cool coastal influence is used for Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir, while warmer valleys support the brand's Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenere. Winebow and Ventisquero Wine Estates are described as co-owners of Root:1, with Ángel Marchant listed as winemaker.
