Background

History

Cono Sur Vineyards & Winery was founded in 1993, with the vision of producing premium, expressive and innovative wines that convey the spirit of the New World. Our name refers to the company’s geographic position, representing wines proudly made in South America’s Southern Cone, on whose western edge lies Chile and its gifted wine valleys. Our logo also evokes a freehand drawing of the silhouette of South America. Right from the start, Cono Sur applied new ideas and technology to traditional winemaking methods. Our main goal, therefore, is to create expressive and innovative wines from the world’s southernmost land. The cornerstone of Cono Sur Vineyards & Winery is innovation. The company defines itself by three main features: the creative use of technology, orientation towards quality and respect and commitment for the environment. Our philosophy is the starting point of each one of our innovative and expressive wines.

Regional info

Southern Rapel sub-valley, Colchagua borders Cachapoal and is irrigated by the Tinguiririca River. The climate is temperate all year round and the enhanced marine influence acts as a moderating factor for both hottest and coldest yearly temperatures, as well as for daily oscillation pattern. The vineyards stretch to the very foot of the Andes and are carefully managed to counteract the natural soil vigour.
