Villa Alegre enjoys a Mediterranean climate, with frequent winter rains, dry summers, and marked temperature variations between day and night during the ripening season. This allows the grapes to achieve soft tannins, excellent aromas, and an optimal concentration of color.

The vineyards are planted 100 meters (328 feet) above sea level and 80 kilometers (128 miles) as the crow flies from the Pacific Ocean, in an area with a privileged microclimate, resulting in extraordinary grape quality.

We have 520 hectares of our own vineyards and an additional 500 hectares managed through long-term contracts with local producers in the appellations of origin.

With over 25 years of experience, Claudio Gonçalves, our head winemaker, was recognized by the prestigious magazine The Drinks Business as one of Chile’s 10 most powerful winemakers in 2016.

Claudio has honed his craft in renowned wineries in Spain (Bodegas Borsao) and New Zealand (Waimea Estates, Framingham Estates, and Clos Henry).

He currently brings a global vision and unparalleled experience to our winery, focusing on defending the terroir and the pure expression of the fruit, with minimal intervention in the winemaking process. The result: authentic, elegant, complex, and characterful wines that have won over the most discerning palates worldwide.

More than a winemaker, Claudio is an artist capable of transforming grapes into unique sensory experiences. His commitment to quality and his constant pursuit of excellence are the foundation of our wines’ success.

With a constructed area of 15,740 m2, our winery has a capacity of over 18 million liters, including stainless steel tanks and French and American oak barrels.

USD 20 million has been reinvested in the last four years in infrastructure, technology, and personnel improvements.

Currently, the plant has three parallel state-of-the-art production lines that handle bottling, labeling, and packaging. This allows us to reach a production rate of 240,000 cases per month, reaching close to 3 million cases per year.
