Located in a privileged place, where the natural richness of Maipo Valley meets an historical patrimony connected with the Foundation and the Independence of Chile, Vina Dona Javiera is a family business that aims to rescue the wine making tradition of several generations. The estate house of Viña Doña Javiera, declared Historical Monument in 1974, was build more than 200 years ago. There, the Carrera brothers, fundamental heroes of the national Independence, lived. This estate is located in Fundo San Miguel in El Monte, 50 kms. West from Santiago. Our 50 hectares of vineyards –located in Maipo Valley- are highly influenced by the breeze of the Pacific Ocean, causing sharp contrasts between night day and temperatures. This microclimate encourages late grape maturity, offering very favorable conditions for producing fine wines. The quality of our wines, are the result of our meticulous care for our prime material: the grapes. Our main varieties are; Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Carmenere, Syrah, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
