Half a century old, this vineyard used to belong to the Hispanic Gutierrez-Porta family, who planted the first roots of a vineyard brought from Europe in the Valley of Cachapoal. For decades, they sold wine to traditional wineries until in 1991, they launched into the adventure of the emerging segment of the “boutique vineyards”. At present, it belongs to Viñedos y Bodegas Córpora, which has doubled the extension of the original vineyards, thus causing its expansion into foreign markets to adopt a more important role. In the last few years, the wines from Viñas Porta have reached international acknowledgement and obtained the maximum distinction in 2003 with the gold medal in the Japan Wine Challenge with its Private Reserve Shiraz/Merlot 2002.

With a vineculture tradition dating back from 1939, Lomas de Cauquenes Vineyard has become a pioneer winery in the launching of its first organic wine in 1998. The scenery around the vineyards is made up by a group of valleys and hills, close to the Pacific Ocean, where there exists a micro-climate very suitable for vinegrowing. At present, there are 50 hectares devoted to organic vines, where varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Syrah, Malbec/Cot Rouge and Vignonier are harvested. Countries of Europe and Asia have tasted the quality of its wines as a result of exports, but above all, as a result of the large growing amount of supporters of organic products.

Just like Porta Vineyard, Gracia de Chile Vineyard belongs to Viñedos y Bodegas Córpora. In 1989, the first plantations destined to produce fine wine started, but it was not until 1996 that the winery was built in the core of the Cachapoal valley, in the Bío Bío region. The idea of this vineyard is to generate a unique wine concept of excellent quality and with an image that may reflect the modernity of the wines from the South of the world. The history of the winery of which it is part provides enough support to make it worldwide famous. Its Merlot Reserva Lo Mejor 2001/Misterioso and Shiraz-Carmenère Reserva were awarded two silver medals during the First Annual Wines of Chile Awards.

It is located inside the spot framed by the 35º and 36º southern latitude, on the eastern slope of the coast mountain range, very close to the Pacific Ocean. The morphology of the scenery corresponds to a group of valleys and soft hills, where a micro-climate very suitable for vine growing is generated. Copious rainfall in the winter, very hot summers, with stressed differences among day and night temperatures, transparent skies and long hours of sunshine contribute to an excellent vine production. The southernmost vineyard in the world is on the shores of the Itata stream, which gives origin to the valley bearing the same name. Across its 100 hectares, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Syrah vines are grown, to mention the most outstanding. Its wines have been acknowledged worldwide and they have obtained awards such as the double gold medal granted in the Chile Fital 2001 National Wine Contest; the Wine Magazine International Wine Challenge gold medal in Brussels, in 1998; and also the bronze medal granted at Catad´Or Hyatt in 1998.

Located to the North of the Bío Bío Valley, this is considered the southernmost winery in the world. In its 1000 hectares, lie 250 vineyards bearing their owner's name: Esteban Canata. This descendant from a Genovese family is responsible for the rows of Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Carménère, used to make local wines. The soils where the vineyard lies have various features: they are simple and contain clay and sand. The winery has large stainless steel tanks with a capacity to produce 3,600,000 liters of wine. The fields where the vineyards are located are called Huinganal, El Carmen, and Casas de Quimel. Viceroy Ambrosio O’Higgins would have lived in one of these venues. For such reason, one of the wines is called Hacienda del Rey (the king's estate). Also, the lines Vin du Stea and Paso Hondo are produced there, with labels on which the surname Canata forms the bends that represent the mild hills where the vineyards are located.
