If we ask us who will be the winemakers that have marked the rules in the Chilean Wine Industry, many would be the names over the table, then, the list of the Top Winemakers Bicentennial 2010 is of only ten winemakers, all Chileans, the ten best ones of our country preselected by their capacity to innovate, by their valuable contribution to the Chilean and international wine, by their awards and prestige. It is not surprising that eight of the ten selected had been chosen at the time as “Best Winemaker of the Year ” by The Guide of Wines from Chile .
Now, those same 10 winemakers are part of the project “Top Winemakers of the Bicentennial 2010 “ Which consist in that all of them them get the same from the same vineyard
in the well know Maipo Valley, more expecificly, Alta Jahuel, what we call the " High Maipo ", in the piedmont of the Big Andes Mountain. The mission was to make ten great wines, and thus to offer by the Celebration of the 200 years of the Independence of Chile. The chosen variety would be a Cabernet Sauvignon, by its high recognition at world-wide level and by the standard of quality reached vintage after vintage. The unique freedom for the winemakers, that would help to each one in transmitting its personal style to the wine, would be the possibility of adding until a 30% of other varieties planted in Chile.

The list of the 10 chosen winemakers will be still to be commented, is pretty much a fact that although it is a project for Chile, will transfer our frontiers. as the list of the Big Names of the Chilean Winemaking History.
The coveted group was formed by the winemakers of seven Chilean wineries.
