Initiations

He brought plants from Germany and France in lead capsules in order to avoid having them wilt during their journey through the tropics.

Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir were imported from France, and Riesling and Gewurztraminer from Germany.

Between 1879 and 1883, Francisco Undurraga Vicuna began to plan the winery Project.

A cooper was hired in France to build the casks as well as viticulturis M.Pressac.

The Founder bought the Wood in which the weapons to fight the Pacific War were packed in, from the Chilean Army.The Wood was oak and originated from Bosnia. It was used to make the casks the company started out with.
