Chilean wine brand 1865 launches exclusive Voyager Collection at Changi
Travelers can experience Chilean wine evolution through 1865's Voyager Collection – from 20 to 70-year-old vines – at Changi Airport
Chilean wine brand 1865 has launched its first-ever travel retail exclusive line, the 1865 Voyager Collection, at Singapore's Changi Airport this September. The collection, which categorizes wines by vine age, is being launched exclusively with Lotte Duty Free and can be found at Terminal 2 Departures and all Lotte Duty Free wine stores in the airport.
The collection pays tribute to Viña San Pedro's heritage, featuring wines from vines of different ages:
The 20-Year-Old Vines Cabernet Sauvignon from Maipo Valley offers fresh fruit notes and complexity with subtle tobacco undertones. The 40-Year-Old Vines presents a balanced red blend, while the 70-Year-Old Vines Cabernet Sauvignon from Lontué Valley demonstrates old-vine characteristics with distinct character.
Purchasers of the 40-year-old vine wine receive a complimentary luggage tag, while the 70-year-old vine wines come in a special gift box
Commercial Director Ximena Prieto stated: "Showcasing Chile and VSPT Wine Group as a high-quality wine producer on the global stage is a key priority for us. The launch of the 1865 Voyager Collection highlights our commitment to exceptional quality and innovative wine experiences. This collection is a celebration of our deep-rooted heritage and expertise in winemaking, offering travelers a unique opportunity to savor the rich legacy of 1865 in a fresh, exclusive format. It blends tradition with modernity, providing an engaging way for consumers to explore vine education and its impact on wine. We believe it will be a standout addition to the travel retail channel. Our partnership with CoLab in the Asia Pacific region is crucial to this effort. Their support helps us reach discerning consumers across the region, reinforcing the presence of Chilean wines in key markets."
The collection showcases San Pedro's precise vineyard management techniques. Each vine age contributes uniquely: 20-year vines produce aromatic grapes ideal for immediate consumption, 40-year vines offer balanced yields and terroir adaptation, and 70-year vines provide concentrated flavors through extended vinification.
Phil Sancto, General Manager – APAC, CoLab, commented: "Introducing the 1865 Voyager Collection in Singapore reinforces the global appeal of Chilean wines and underscores our commitment to delivering exceptional wine experiences to Asian travelers. As the distribution partner for 1865, CoLab is proud to play a key role in this launch. Across the wine and spirits category, where consumers often associate numerical indicators with quality, highlighting vine age with the 1865 Voyager Collection is a clear signpost for aspirational travelers. We thank Lotte Duty Free for partnering with us to showcase the best of Chilean innovation and maestría and we hope to make a significant impact in this dynamic market."
The collection is available exclusively at Changi Airport during September, priced at US$30 (20-year), US$50 (40-year) and US$75 (70-year).
