The release of our new Sutil family of wines is a major milestone in our project of bringing to people from all over the world the ultimate expression of a special place, our home in Colchagua Valley and the dedicated work of our people

We started planting our 597 acres of land to fine vineyards in the heart of Colchagua Valley in 1990. Since then we have been passionately involved in every step of the way, pouring our souls first into the land, the vines and the grapes, then into the winery and the bottle, and now finally into your glass.

Viña Sutil is located 130 kilometers southwest of Santiago, Chile, at 70.10 degrees west longitude and 34.3 degrees south latitude, in the heart of the Colchagua Valley. The Denomination of Origin (D.O.) Colchagua Valley is a sub-appellation of the D.O. Rapel Valley in the central region of Chile. The winery is found in the community of Peralillo, just west of the city of Santa Cruz.

The Colchagua Valley is a natural corridor formed by the oastal mountain range and the Andes, and it is irrigated by the pure, cool waters from both of these mountain chains. The valley extends from the Pacific Ocean right to the foot of the Andes. This creates a spectacular combination of maritime and mountain influences that generates conditions unique in Chile and the world, forming a very special microclimate that is ideal for viticulture.

Viña Sutil began in 1990 with the planting of 597 acres of noble vines, oriented toward making fine wines for the domestic and international markets. Today the entire property is delivering excellent quality grapes, especially the reds, with varieties ranging from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Carmenère, Malbec, Syrah, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc. We also have small plantings of Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.

One of the determining factors in the quality of our wines is the climate at our Colchagua properties. The four seasons are well defined, with virtually no rain in the summer and nearly 700 mm of rainfall during the winter. This makes for ideal conditions for viticulture. The broad temperature fluctuation between day and night of up to 22 degrees Celsius allows the grapes to ripen slowly during the long summer. The resulting wines have a
deep color and smooth tannin structure, with ripe fruit flavors and good acid balance. They are also high in polyphenols, which are beneficial to good health.

We place particular emphasis on the ecological management of the vineyards. We use practically no pesticides, thanks to the ideal climate and good ventilation among the vines, which allow us to attain healthy grapes year after year based on natural pest control.

Our state-of-the-art winery has a storage capacity of 6.5 million liters under optimum conditions, which facilitates the gentle handling of the musts. We also have in Colchagua all the necessary equipment for finishing and bottling all of the wines destined for the different markets around the world.

The 2003 harvest brought us the first grapes from a new project that Viña Sutil is developing in Cauquenes, in the Maule Valley. We now have 131 acres planted in that region, which promise to provide a wide range of excellent red varietals.

Viña Sutil is not only a family-owned company, but also a strong commercial enterprise. Our wines are currently found in more than twenty markets worldwide. Our primary commitment is to be as close as possible to those markets in order to deliver products of optimum quality and the best service.

The principal wine brands produced by Viña Sutil are Sutil, La Playa, De Eyzaguirre and Lomas de Los Andes.

The company is made up of young professionals who are highly committed to the challenge of attaining the best results. This has allowed us to establish a solid, lasting image in the marketplace, not only for our brands but for Chile as well. It is a company that is always willing to learn in a challenging and competitive environment.

We are oriented toward long-term success. Beyond having clients, we have partners in this adventure in the world of wine. We believe in people and in professional relationships based on mutual trust, strategic vision, and shared growth.

For Viña Sutil, the word "quality" defines and unifies our vision. We are inspired by the ongoing challenge of raising the quality of our wines, our work, the level of our service, and the way we present our products to the market.
