Winery Info

Vina San Esteban

Founded in 1974, Viña San Esteban is oriented to producing fine wines and fresh table grapes, principally for export. A family business with important ties to the community, Viña San Esteban has the long term vision and the necessary support to commit to quality production, as well as market and brand building worldwide.
The winery and offices are adjacent to the La Florida and Paidahuen vineyards and estates, both in the town of San Esteban, Region V, Chile. The vineyards include overhead and vertically-trained vines located both on hillsides and along the banks of the Aconcagua River.
Privileged soil conditions and Aconcagua Valley's micro-climate, together with quality technological practices in viticulture and winemaking allow us to produce quality grapes and wines.

Belonging to a family with a long-standing tradition in Chilean viticulture, Viña San Esteban was founded when José Vicente, an established grape producer, was joined by his son Horacio, a Bordeaux-trained winemaker, to produce quality Aconcagua Valley wines.

Viña San Esteban is located in central Chile, near the city of Los Andes, at the mountainous, eastern edge of the Aconcagua Valley. Our vineyards are beautifully situated along the Aconcagua River and over the foothills of the Andes Mountains, where sunny days and night breezes create the temperature variability needed to reach optimal ripeness of the grapes. A pioneer in hillside-vineyard planting, our Paidahuen estate offers the rocky soil and unique solar exposure necessary to obtain grapes rich in structure and character. The Aconcagua riverbed consists of fragments of drift stones from the Andes Mountains. The sandy texture of the soil restricts water retention, avoiding excessive vigor and favoring the concentration of aromas and tannins in the grapes.
The total planted surface area is 120 hectares, including the following grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Carmenère, Syrah, Sangiovese, Cabernet Franc, Mourvedre, Petit Verdot, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier.
