Matetic Vineyards
The family arrived in Chilean Patagonia back in 1892, originally from Rijeka (nowadays in Croatia). In 1999 the fourth generation of the family, after a detailed study of the terroir conditions, and absolute confidence about the great potential of El Rosario Valley, planted vineyards on the slopes of this protected environment within the San Antonio appellation. Thus, becoming pioneers in cool-climate Syrah in Chile.
Their modern wine cellar, designed by the team of Matetic Vineyards in conjunction with the architect Laurence Odfjell, was built in 2004; Taking into account every detail of the winemaking process and the care of the environment. It harmonizes the organic and biodynamic agriculture practiced in the vineyard and the natural landscape of the valley, merging with its surroundings.
With a capacity of 600 thousand liters, it has a design of gravitational flow, which allows achieving delicate handling of the grape at every stage of the process, from reception and selection to fermentation and subsequent storage in barrels. The winery has 3 underground rooms for the storage of almost 1,800 barrels, counting on the optimal conditions of humidity and temperature, where our wines are raised between 12 and 22 months in French barrels.
