Aliwen, Albert Heijn sells four different types, is a line of modern, invigorating wines full of fresh, fruity juice and a striking, soft aftertaste. Carlos Concha, winemaker and avid snowboarder, thinks of active people who love the outdoors and socializing when making the Aliwens. 'Don't be difficult, just enjoy it,' he says. In the meantime, all kinds of international professional juries have awarded the Aliwen wines with big medals for the exceptional quality. The name is a tribute to the Mapuchi Indians: the original inhabitants of Chile and the founders of Chilean culture. Aliwen is mapuchi for sacred tree.
