Viña Carta Vieja

Founded in 1825, Carta Vieja is the most emblematic and widespread brand of the Del Pedregal family. It is available in several formats, orientated to satisfy current consumption trends around the world. To talk about Carta Vieja is to refer to the history and tradition of Chilean winemaking, passionately handed down through more than eight family generations.

The Loncomilla Valley, where our vines thrive, is located in the VII Region of Maule, a sector that is amongst the most renowned for its ancient history in the wine trade. It is a tranverse valley, orientated from east to west, from the Andes mountain range to the Pacific ocean. It is here where our beautiful land is situated, and where the highest-quality wines are born.

Soils with slopes of around 2%, distributed within clearly-defined zones: The Río Loncomilla riverbank zone, with loam-sand texture soils, deep and with little stone content; the plateau zone, with loam-clay soils and varying depths..

The family`s installations are located in Villa Alegre located in Chile`s Maule Region (VII), with a winery that has stood the test of time and has modernized itself through the years. As a result, it has been able to achieve significant progress within the winemaking world.

Our winery has a capacity of over 15 million liters, with 2,500 barrels, most of which are made of French oak. It is fully capable of recieving up to 500,000 kilos per day. In addition, a combination of modern press systems are used, both state-of-the art pneumatic presses, as well as vertical presses equipped with pressing programs. Filtration systems are used in its processes, with both tangential and diatomaceous earth filters.

The bottling area is capable of filling 9000 units per hour, with a sophisticated filtration system to guarantee that production meets the highest quality standards. The winery is true to its commitment to the environment, with new facilities designed for liquid waste management, allowing for it to be disposed of in an innocuous form.
