Viñedos Puertas

Viñedos Puertas

Viñedos Puertas is a family-owned business founded by José Puertas Pons in 1950. Hailing from the town of Campo, located on the banks of the Ésera River in a valley framed by the high peaks of Turbón and Cotiella in the province of Huesca, Spain, the company arrived in Chile with a unique vision that, through hard work and dedication, allowed it to get off the ground. The company’s primary objective was the sale of grapes, bulk wine, and contract winemaking services, providing support to major wine producers in the country and fostering employment and development in the surrounding areas. The professionalism and quality of Viñedos Puertas enabled the company to position itself as one of the most successful and reputable wine producers in the central region, bringing prestige to the Curicó Valley for its fertile lands and the warmth of its people.

Grapes

Currently, Viñedos Puertas cultivates its vineyards in nine sub-valleys, located in the areas of Convento Viejo, Quilvo (on the banks of the Teno River), Barros Negros, Isla de Marchant, Tutuquén, Los Guindos, Palquibudis (on the banks of the Mataquito River), Romeral, and Río Claro. These areas offer different soil types, varied microclimates, and distinct light conditions, allowing each grapevine to thrive according to its specific needs, resulting in exceptional harvests and enabling the winery to process its grapes using state-of-the-art technology.

Maturation of wine

According to their final destination, the wines are stored at controlled temperatures in epoxy cement and/or stainless steel tanks. Reserve wines are kept in barrels made from french oak for a period determined by the oenologist.
