About the winery · Viña Santa Rita ›
Viña Santa Rita was founded in 1880 by Domingo Fernández Concha in Alto Jahuel, Chile. The winery is one of Chile's established producers and is tied to an important heritage site in the Maipo Valley. The 120 range takes its name from the story of Paula Jaraquemada, who sheltered 120 patriot soldiers during Chile's independence period. Today the 120 line is positioned by the winery as a widely known, approachable brand built around everyday enjoyment.
