Viña Santa Rita
At the foot of the Andes, in Chile’s Maipo Valley, Viña Santa Rita carries the confidence of an early pioneer. Founded in 1880 by Domingo Fernández Concha, the estate brought French varieties, cellar know‑how and a new ambition to Alto Jahuel—while its old buildings still echo the episode of the “120 Patriots” sheltered here during the independence era.
Alluvial soils and strong day‑night swings set the rhythm for the vineyards: fruit shaped by light, acidity held by cool evenings. Block-by-block farming, tight harvest decisions and élevage that moves between stainless steel and oak aim for definition, not cosmetics.
The sip reads like Maipo itself: linear, transparent, carried by a stony backbone and Andean air. Santa Rita’s strength is balance—heritage without heaviness, scale without dilution—an iconic Chilean winery that keeps its narrative alive by refining it.Viña Santa Rita
