Cutting-edge Chile
AT a recent wine tasting, the gentleman who took to the floor to talk about the wines was an architect, not a winemaker. Just pronounce “Odfjell” without the “j,” Laurence Odjfell must have explained countless times. The family name is Norwegian, linked with a shipping business based in Rotterdam, the largest freight terminal in the world. Odfjell is also the name of the winery founded in Chile almost 25 years ago by Dan Odjfell, Laurence’s father. What had started out as an orchard, bought by the senior Odjfell in the 1980s, is now one of Chile’s most forward-thinking wineries.
