Viña Indómita

The winery

Viña Indómita sits at kilometer 64 of Ruta 68, at the eastern end of the Casablanca Valley, halfway between Santiago and Valparaíso. Its white manor house with arches and a tower, on top of a vine-covered hill with the winery's name spelled out on the slope, is one of the most recognizable silhouettes along the highway. It is a young winery: its Casablanca vines were planted in 2002 and 2006. That latter year it was bought by the Bethia group, owned by the Heller Solari family, which later added the wineries Santa Alicia, in Pirque, and Porta and Agustinos. In 2017 the Chinese wine company Changyu acquired a majority of that group, which now operates as Indómita Wine Company Chile and exports to more than forty countries. Its icon wine, Zardoz, is named after a horse that belonged to the owning family.

The winery reports around 100 hectares of vineyard. In Casablanca, 18 km from the Pacific, the cool climate with a wide gap between day and night temperatures and the clay soils produce the house whites and Pinot Noir: Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, the Provençal-style rosé Musette, the sparkling Brut and Grand Cuvée (Chardonnay and Pinot Noir) and a Late Harvest of Gewürztraminer and Sauvignon Blanc. The reds come from other valleys: Cabernet Sauvignon and Carménère from Maipo Costa, on the Longovilo estate, for the Gran Reserva and Duette lines; Cabernet Sauvignon from Alto Maipo for Zardoz, and a Carignan from Maule. The cellar, with capacity for 27 million liters, keeps its barrels in a vaulted room dug into the hill. In 2026 the Duette Cabernet Sauvignon-Carménère 2024 won a gold medal and a trophy at the International Wine & Spirit Competition, and in 2025 Mundus Vini named the house best producer in Chile.

For now there are no guided visits: the winery suspended its tours, tastings and restaurant to remodel its facilities, with a reopening it announced for May or June 2026 and which, as of November, it has not confirmed. What remains open is the shop in the manor house, Monday to Friday from 10:00 (until 17:30 according to the online shop; on Mondays Google lists closing at 16:30), closed on weekends and public holidays. The winery's online shop delivers throughout Chile, with free shipping to Santiago, Valparaíso and Viña del Mar, and sells by the case of six bottles; you can also buy by WhatsApp or by phone at +56 9 9225 3273.
