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.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e The wines from Chile\u003c\/h2\u003e \nChilean 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.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e The wines of Santa Rita\u003c\/h2\u003e \nIn 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.

The region boasts a cold climate strongly influenced by the nearby Pacific Ocean. This tempers the warm weather and allows the grapes to ripen slowly. Sauvignon Blanc grapes, in particular, thrive in this climate. The soil structure consists primarily of granite with a touch of clay. The Sauvignon Blanc thrives on the rolling hills, resulting in fruity wines with beautiful concentration.\n\n\n \nDepending on the Sauvignon Blanc's maturity, it is harvested around March. It is then taken almost immediately to the winery for further processing. Cold maceration takes place during the harvesting process. Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes are pressed, and the resulting juice is decanted for 48 hours. This ultimately ensures the right level of complexity. The wine ferments in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, after which it is time for aging. The wine is aged for between 10 and 15 months in French oak barrels on its own lees.
