Entrance Hall - Room of the Chemamules

Welcome to the Almaviva Bodega, designed by the Chilean architect Martin Hurtado. Inspired by the undulating silhouette of the Andes mountains, the building uses traditional Chilean materials such as rauli, a hardwood timber.
This is the entrance hall, called the Room of the Chemamules. Visitors are invited to sit for a while on the curved leather bench and contemplate the majestic "Chemamules*" which watch over the wines as they slowly mature.

*The Chemamules are sculpted wooden statues, tokens of the Mapuche civilisation.
