In the early 1990s, Bordeaux luminaries Bruno Prats (Château Cos d'Estournel) and Paul Pontallier (Château Margaux) discovered the high caliber of Cabernet Sauvignon from Chile's Alto Maipo region. They partnered with their colleague Felipe de Solminihac, a renowned Chilean agronomist, oenologist and winemaker in the region. They acquired 45 acres in the 'Quebrada de Macul', historically the heart of the Maipo Valley vineyards, and Viña Aquitania was born. In January 2003, Ghislain de Montgolfier (CEO of Bollinger Champagne), became the fourth musketeer.

"There is now an entry-level white under the Aquitania label. The 2016 Chardonnay is a slightly tropical example of the grape, showing a mélange of citrus, mango and papaya aromas. The palate is light and refreshing, with a dry finish. This is bottled unoaked and without malolactic after five months in stainless steel with lees.
90 points."
