Nuestra Esencia

Viña Estampa nace en 2001 impulsada por la pasión de la familia González por el vino y por la profunda convicción de que las cosas bien hechas requieren tiempo, dedicación y perseverancia. Desde el Valle de Colchagua, nuestro proyecto se construye con orgullo por la tierra que nos acoge y respeto por su identidad.

Creemos en el vino como una expresión viva del origen y de las personas que lo hacen posible. Detrás de cada botella hay un equipo humano de excelencia, comprometido y apasionado por lo que hace, que trabaja de manera colaborativa, combinando experiencia, sensibilidad enológica e innovación, y cuidando cada detalle del proceso, desde el viñedo hasta la copa.

Nuestro orgullo está en acompañar la mesa y los momentos importantes de quienes confían en nosotros. Ser parte de encuentros, celebraciones y conversaciones compartidas da sentido a nuestro trabajo y nos impulsa a seguir haciendo vino con honestidad, respeto y dedicación.

02family

The history of Viña Estampa dates back to the beginning of the last century, when Manuel González Dieguez, Spanish immigrant, purchased the historic Mill Prints, baptized in 1897 in memory of the so-called “miracle of the picture flying”. That entrepreneurial spirit marked the beginning of a family tradition linked to the labour, land and food.

For decades, the Gonzalez family Barjacoba continued to manage and projecting this legacy, consolidating a leading company in the food industry. Later, the family González Ortiz, linked to agribusiness, the food innovation and viticulture, gave a new step to the venture in 1988 in the Colchagua Valley, where he planted vineyards and constructed a winery designed to express the potential of this territory.

Today, the Gonzalez family Pagola keeps alive this commitment, guided by values that have been passed down for generations: effort, quality, well-being and a permanent contribution to the development of the country, projecting the legacy of Stamped into the future.

03vela team

En la familia González, la pasión por el vino convive naturalmente con la pasión por la vela. Como expresión de ese espíritu, la viña patrocina el velero Estampa del Viento, embarcación de la clase Soto 40, considerada la categoría más importante y exigente de la vela de alto rendimiento en la región.

La vela representa valores profundamente compartidos con nuestro trabajo enológico: pasión, precisión, disciplina y trabajo en equipo. Estampa del Viento participa activamente en los campeonatos de Chile y Sudamérica, compitiendo al más alto nivel y reafirmando un compromiso permanente con la excelencia y el esfuerzo colectivo.

Ese vínculo con el viento y el mar inspira también nuestra forma de entender el vino: un trabajo donde la coordinación, el respeto por el entorno y la búsqueda constante de equilibrio son esenciales.

Winemaking Philosophy

In Viña Estampa we understand wine as a balance between technique, sensitivity and interpretation of the source. Since our inception, innovation and a contemporary look, have guided the way in which we approach each wine for every variety expresses faithful to its nature and its place within the Colchagua Valley.

Working with assemblies are an essential part of our identity winemaking. Through the precise combination of different varieties, we construct wines are harmonious and consistent, where each component provides structure, freshness and depth, while always respecting the expression of the terroir.

This approach allows us to develop well-balanced wines with personality defined, where technical and territory dialogue to offer a reading authentic Colchagua in each cup.
