Buy or order Santa Rita wine

Looking at the Santa Rita winery's trophy cabinet, it's literally overflowing. In their 140-year history, they've received countless prizes, medals, awards, and mentions. In 2016, they were voted "Winery of the Year" by the Chilean press. The icing on the cake came in 2022 when they were named for the eleventh time in the legendary list of "The World's Most Admired Wine Brands." Praise enough for this giant of Chilean winemaking.

The wines from Chile

Chilean wines are still considered New World wines, even though viticulture here is centuries old. However, commercial viticulture was a relatively late development. Don Domingo Fernández Concha, founder of Vina Santa Rita, played a significant role in this. In 1880, he was a highly successful and well-regarded businessman in Chile. He had a vision; a dream: his own winery. But he wanted to do it right. He assembled the best team; only the best winemakers from France were good enough for Don Domingo. He was also the one who introduced French grape varieties to the Maipo Valley. Now, over 140 years later, Chilean vineyards are overrun with French grape varieties, and they have clearly become the signature of Chilean wines.

The wines of Santa Rita

In 1980, Vina Santa Rita became part of the massive Claro Group, creating enormous scope for innovation and investment. This allowed for a massive expansion of the vineyards. Santa Rita's vineyards now encompass over 3,000 hectares, an astronomical amount even by Chilean standards. Vina Santa Rita is present in all of Chile's major wine regions. Colchagua and Maipo are the most important, each with approximately 1,000 hectares of vines. But Santa Rita wines from Casablanca, Limari, Rapel, and Leyda are also true gems.
