RETA

We think Marcelo Retamal (who everyone knows as Reta) is one of Chile’s most exciting winemakers. He worked for leading family winery De Martino for 23 years, and he estimates that he’s made wine in over 350 different vineyards and wine regions along the breadth of Chile, as well as visiting wine regions ranging from Greece and Georgia to Australia and Alsace. He left in 2021 and now has two personal projects on the go. One is Reta, which he produces alongside his wife and daughters. Marcelo has used his decades of experience to access some of Chile’s most exciting vineyards, and now he makes wines from three of them. These are some of the most vibrant and Chilean wines we’ve come across.
