Our vineyard is focused exclusively on Cabernet Sauvignon, Chile’s most famous and recognized grape variety. Our first grapevines were planted in 2001. Stefano Gandolini firmly believes Maipo Andes is one of the few places where world-class Cabernet Sauvignon can be made. With a vast experience in the handling of this grape variety in Maipo Andes during his time in vineyards of the area, Stefano Gandolini seeks to make a Chilean icon wine and one of the best in the country, based on the elegance, intensity and complexity of the Cabernet Sauvignon variety in the Maipo Andes.
Gandolini is focused on producing one wine only —Las 3 Marías Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon. Its production is limited in scale allowing for the highest standards of quality.

Viña Maquis has been associated with the production of noble wine grapes since the XVIII century when it belonged to the Jesuit priests.
During the XIX century, Maquis was owned by two Chilean presidents who felt proud of their property.
In 1916, Maquis was bought by the Hurtado family who wished to develop a fine wine business.
The building was one of the first to be made of concrete in Chile. It was built in 1927 by the then-owner and engineer Ignacio Hurtado when he was 23 years old, right after leaving engineering school.
In 2002, after several years of refining the management of the vineyards, the Hurtado family built a new winery designed both to facilitate wine production and to enable the expression of the characteristics and personality of the grapes in the clearest way possible.
Much of the work is done using artisanal methods because for many stages of the winemaking process, even today, no machinery can provide the degree of quality and care achieved by a passionate and professional team.
Viña Maquis is located in the heart of the Colchagua Valley between the Tinguiririca River and the Chimbarongo Creek. Both waterways act as pathways for coastal breezes that protect the vineyards from frost damage in spring and moderate the warm summers. These breezes have an important effect on lowering the maximum summer temperatures by 2º–3ºC. This affects the characteristics of the grapes and hence the wines by increasing the fresh fruit and floral aromas, making the wines more vibrant on the palate and moderating the alcohol levels.
Calcu hand-made vineyards stand out for their architecture, which feature small blocks over gentle granitic slopes of the coastal hills. The soils contain important seams of clay which are preserved and maintained as they contribute to the wines’ characteristic structure, texture and depth.
Matetic Wine Group is a family owned winery group with two unique wineries Matetic Vineyard in San Antonio Valley and Terrapura in the Colchagua Valley with 2 winemaking team under the umbrella of Matetic Wine Group.

TerraPura began with a long-term relationship with grape producers in Chile’s best wine regions. TerraPura’s mark is based on the diversity of origins and varieties that Chile produces, as well as an ongoing quest to improve the location of every variety—always with a tremendous commitment to sustainability and our community.
The beginnings of Santa Ema date back to the early 20th century when Mr. Pedro Pavone Voglino, an Italian immigrant, sportsman, and businessman, discovered in Isla de Maipo a Terroir where our headquarters still stand today.
The founder, along with his son Félix Pavone Arbea, a great entrepreneur and visionary, started the wine company Vinos Santa Ema in 1956. They equipped it with advanced industrial infrastructure for the development and management of high-quality bottled wines.
Since then, Santa Ema has opened up to Chile and the world, beginning its exports in a solid and uninterrupted growth process that now reaches over 40 destination countries in the hands of the third and fourth generations of the family.
If there is something that characterizes the spirit, mission, and vision of Vinos Santa Ema, which still belongs to the Pavone Family, now in its fourth generation, it is the full and sustained adherence to the following fundamental values:
Commitment.

Four generations have passed since, and his legacy is more present and alive than ever.
At Bouchon Winery, we specialize in producing premium wine from old, unirrigated vines from the Maule Valley. All our wines aim to showcase the incredible terroir that is the Secano Interior (Interior Drylands). Very old granitic soils in different levels of decomposition provide a vertical texture for our wines, which are also sustainable and organic.
Heritage varieties such as Pais (Listan Negro), Semillon, and Carignan intertwine with international varieties such as Cab Sauv, Carmenere, and Sauv Blanc, making Bouchon a New World winery with a heavy connection to the Old World. We have received many accolades in the past years, such as 97 points (and a platinum medal) in Decanter World Wine Awards for Mingre 2019, 96 points for Granito Semillon 2020 in Tim Atkin, and 96 points in Decanter World Wine Awards for Canto Sur 2020.

VFC Wines:
We make sustainable wines that are in line with the exceptional terroir that the Maule Valley from Chile provides, with great respect for the environment, our employees, and the communities where we work. Our vineyards are located in the Maule Valley, specifically in the sub-valley of San Javier, planted on alluvial soils with a large quantity of rounded rocks and layers of clay in different levels of decomposition.
We specialize in quality wines and, with a strong marketing team, we have developed a large portfolio of brands with eye-catching labels and attractive marketing stories. We have many alternatives for packaging upgrade and offering a tailor-made experience when developing your products.
VIA Wines came into existence in 1998 on the initiative of a group of visionaries who produced fine high-quality bottled wines and spearheaded its growth.
Years of effort and research led us to explore various terroirs, finally settling on the San Rafael zone in the Maule Valley. There we brought to life one the country’s most important vine-growing and wine-making projects.
An appreciation of the exceptional conditions of the various estates, an understanding of the tradition and culture of each terroir, plus the impetus provided by today’s advances in vine-growing and wine-making have enabled us to develop products that are unique and at the same time innovative, in all our brands and categories.
This spirit is evident in every bottle: each one is made in harmony with the various strict criteria concerning the environment and our community. We work according to sustainable standards validated by the guidelines of Wines of Chile, and these are applied in the over 2000 hectares of vineyards which are our own to use, planted in the country’s most outstanding vine-growing and wine-making regions.
These estates give life to our winery and to our VÍA project (“The Way” in Latin). The fruit, the land and the work of man make up the driving-force for our journey along a path of excellence and daring. We are moving towards the future, never forgetting our roots or the nobility of the terroirs of a country defined by wine.
NuViña Carmen, founded in 1850 by Christian Lanz in honor of his wife, Carmen, is Chile’s oldest winery and has played a key role in the country’s winemaking history.
With more than 170 years of tradition, it has built a strong international presence, exporting to over 50 markets worldwide.
In 1994, renowned ampelographer Jean-Michel Boursiquot rediscovered Carmenère in its Alto Maipo vineyards, reviving a grape variety believed extinct since the 19th century and transforming it into one of Chile’s most iconic symbols.estra Historia
