Viña
MontGras, in Chile's Colchagua Valley, was established in 1992 by brothers Hernán
and Eduardo Gras, together with their partner Cristián Hartwig. The fruit of
a mission to produce estate-grown wines of exceptional quality and originality,
the MontGras estate today encompasses over 495 acres (200 hectares) planted to
vine in the heart of Chile's wine-producing region. Since the first harvest in
the early 1990s, MontGras wines have earned over 200 medals and awards worldwide,
garnering international critical acclaim. Santiago Margozzini serves as head
winemaker.
Colchagua
Valley, a serene sub-valley of Rapel, is situated in Chile’s Central
Region at the heart of the country’s premier wine-producing zone.
Nestled between the Pacific Coastal Range to the west and the
snow-capped Andes to the east, this rustic valley is a protected
environment with positive maritime influences that foster a terroir
ideal for the production of top-quality wines.
The first
MontGras vineyards were planted in 1993 with clones from the oldest
vineyards in the region and from overseas. Today, the three founding
partners have over 150 hectares (370 acres) planted to vine.
