Founded in 1824, Viña la Rosa is one of Chile’s oldest wineries. In 1824, Don Francisco Ignacio decided to buy a ‘hacienda’ for his first-born son. He fell in love with the beautiful landscape of the Cachapoal Valley, 120 kilometers below Santiago. He bought the ‘hacienda’ from the first president of Chile, Manual Encalada. The purchase included not only the farm, but also wine barrels, wine cellars and grape vines imported from France. Since then, the family has devoted itself passionately to wine growing. The sixth generation is now at the helm of this winery. Viña la Rosa is also the producer of the La Palma wines.
