About Intriga
Intriga was originally founded in 1865 as Linderos by don Alejandro Reyes, who was one of the pioneers of Chilean viticulture, planting only the most noble European varieties.
It has been a family business since then with the sole mission of producing fine wines.
Miguel Ortíz (1884-1954), Spanish vine grower who arrived from La Rioja in 1915, established the concept of preventive viticulture and winemaking in order to obtain healthy, natural wines of great purity.
Today, over 140 years after its establishment, Intriga remains with the same mission and concept: Produce premium quality wines with great care of the fruit and the environment.
With new and innovative vineyard management techniques along with state-of-the art equipment for the winery, the focus continues on producing wines which are a true reflection of Maipo’s characteristic terroir.
