Santa Rita

Central Valley · Chile

Founded in 1880

Santa Rita was founded in 1880 by Domingo Fernández Concha at Alto Jahuel, still the heart of the winery today. He brought French varieties to Chile at a time when that was not yet the custom, and got results the country had not seen before. The name of the 120 range comes from the estate itself: during the struggle for independence in the early nineteenth century, 120 patriots took shelter there. Today 120 is the winery's entry wine, with Tres Medallas and Medalla Real above it. The vineyards run through Maipo, Casablanca, Rapel, Lontué and Leyda — from the coastal cool to the foot of the Andes.
