About the winery · Viña Santa Rita ›
Viña Santa Rita was founded in 1880 by Domingo Fernández Concha in Chile's Maipo Valley. The winery's history is tied to the introduction of fine French grape varieties, specialized equipment and French winemaking expertise to Chile. Santa Rita later became part of the Claro Group in 1980, after which the company expanded exports and invested in more modern winemaking. The Secret Reserve line sits in the winery's approachable reserve range, emphasizing fruit, balance and polished everyday drinkability.
