Jose Puertas Pons created the Vinedos Puertas family business in 1950. Jose Puertas Pons was born in the Spanish town of Campo (Huesca province, Aragon), which is situated on the banks of the Esera River in a valley surrounded by the towering Turbon (2,492m) and Cotiella (2,912m) peaks. He has built and expanded Vinedos Puertas into one of Chile’s most important wine producers via hard work, dedication, and a distinct vision of development.
The Vinedos Puertas vineyard consisted of 80 hectares of fields irrigated by water pouring from the Andes Mountains, as well as a one-million-liter winery known as El Milagro, located near Convento Viejo, in the center of Curico Valley. The company specialized in grapes and bulk wines, as well as custom winemaking, giving its services to the country’s major winemakers and encouraging job creation and development in the surrounding area.
Vinedos Puertas’ aim is to establish Vinedos Puertas as a company dedicated to exceeding customers’ expectations with high-quality goods in the international market.
The objective of Vinedos Puertas is to consistently improve the final quality of their wines. Vinedos Puertas begins with terroir and the selection of varietals, clones, and rootstocks according on climate and soil conditions. When harvest time approaches, they process the grapes in their contemporary wine cellar, which is equipped with cutting-edge technology and managed by our highly qualified and professional crew. In conformity with all current legal norms and laws, the Vinedos Puertas company operates sustainably and follows ethical standards oriented at both its staff and their clientele.
Temperature-controlled stainless-steel barrels and epoxy concrete tanks with temperature-regulating plates are used for fermentation. The building’s climate-control system has chilling and heating capacity of 2,000,000fg/hour (8,000,000BTU/h) and 1,000kcal/h, respectively, allowing us to continually create high-quality wines.
According to them, the wines are held at controlled temperatures in epoxy cement and/or stainless steel tanks as their final destination. Reserve wines are aged in French oak barrels for a period of time selected by the oenologist.
The wines are bottled according to a schedule based on the variety and type of wine. After that, the bottles are kept in an acclimatized basement until they are ready to be sent. Germany, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Denmark, Slovenia, France, the United Kingdom, Japan, Russia, Sweden, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and Switzerland are among the countries that have received the cargo.
