Indómita, Chile

Viña Indómita occupies a truly spectacular location, between Santiago and Valparaíso in the heart of Casablanca, with an imposing house and hillside sign that wouldn’t look out of place in Hollywood.

Yet this belies a dynamic winemaking team and one of the most exciting winemaking projects in Chile. With vineyards the length of Chile, from Casablanca to Maipo as well as Maule and Itata, they take full advantage of the region’s climatic differences, with a focus on Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir in the cooler Casablanca Valley, Carignan from the Maule Valley, Pais in the Itata Valley and Cabernet Sauvignon and Carménère are the main varieties cultivated in the warmer Maipo region. Environmental sustainability and social responsibility are taken seriously, with measures to minimise wastewater and energy consumption, alongside ventures to create local employment across both winemaking and wine tourism.

Viticulture

A minimal intervention approach is taken in the vineyards with the utmost respect for the environment they hold the “Wine of Chile Certified Sustainable” certification.

Winemaking

An imposing state-of-the-art cellar with capacity for 27 million litres dominates the Casablanca valley. Its barrel room and imposing terrace make it a must-visit destination for tourists.
