Undurraga

Undurraga is a Chilean wine producer located in the Maipo Valley, with estate vineyards spread throughout the country. It makes a wide range of wines from many of Chile's most famous grape varieties, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay.

The company was established by Francisco Undurraga Vicuña in 1885, but the first vines were planted in 1879 from cuttings imported from Germany and France. In 1903, Undurraga was the first Chilean winery to export to the United States and by the 1940s it was already producing 30,000 bottles a year. By the 1960s, this had risen to nearly half a million.

Undurraga owns some 1350 hectares (3336 acres) of vineyard land from seven estates in the Maipo, Colchagua, Cachapoal, Maule and Leyda valleys. The vineyards are planted according to terroir. There are two winemaking facilities, one in Maipo and the other at the company's Santa Ana Estate in Talagante. These have a combined capacity of 23 million liters a year.

The porfolio is varied, and consist of a range of different labels made by different winemakers. These labels include names like the Founder's Collection, Altazor, Vigno, Sibaris, Pablo Neruda, Aliwen and Titillum.

Undurraga has been making sparkling wines since 1910 and is one of Chile's most important sparkling wine producers. Titillum is the flagship range, made in the traditional method from a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
