Producer Information: Viña San Pedro

Viña San Pedro is based in the Curicó Valley of Chile, a region celebrated for its diverse terroir and favorable climate for viticulture. Founded in 1865 by the Correa Albano brothers, the winery has grown to become one of Chile’s largest and most historic wine producers. Viña San Pedro employs a combination of traditional winemaking techniques and modern technology, focusing on sustainable practices throughout their vineyards and production facilities. Their approach emphasizes careful vineyard management, precision harvesting, and innovative fermentation methods to ensure quality across all their wines.

Beyond their flagship Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot offerings, Viña San Pedro’s portfolio includes a wide array of varietals such as Carmenère, Syrah, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Malbec, and Viognier. The producer also crafts premium reserve lines like 1865 Single Vineyard and Altair. In addition to still wines, they have expanded into sparkling wines using both traditional method and Charmat process. While primarily focused on wine production from key Chilean appellations like Maipo Valley and Casablanca Valley, Viña San Pedro has diversified into limited-edition blends as well as experimental micro-vinifications that highlight lesser-known grapes from emerging regions within Chile’s wine landscape.
