Puntí Ferrer

The winery

The story of Puntí Ferrer goes back to 1953, when Jaime Puntí Desveus arrived in Chile from Manresa, in Catalonia, and the family first devoted itself to producing and selling grape must. That is the year the winery gives as its founding. The current project was built by his son, Antonio Puntí Ferrer, together with his wife, Andrea Lagos, when they left the capital to live in the countryside; partners joined later. It still presents itself as a family winery, and today Andrés Puntí signs the contact details and the notes on its website.

Its only current estate is Santa Amalia, in Rengo, with gravel and clay soils at the foot of the Andes; until a few years ago it also worked El Huique, in Colchagua. The winery says estate and cellar are in the same place, and the cellar, beside the Ruta 5 service road at around km 103, is industrial in scale: in 2022 it declared some 9 million liters of capacity, mostly in stainless steel, and today it says it sells more than 8 million liters a year in bulk, in addition to bottles and private labels for third parties, to more than 20 markets. The winemaker is Jorge Martínez. There are seven lines: Signature, Reserva and Gran Reserva, by tier; Conforme, the highest, with Carménère and Cabernet Sauvignon from Cachapoal; Innovation Series, with the Serie Tinajas, vinified in clay amphorae, and the Huevos del Loco Sauvignon Blanc; Espumantes, among them a País Brut, and Puntí Cero, dealcoholized wines with less than 0.5% alcohol. Not everything is born in Cachapoal: Signature is from the Central Valley and the Reserva Pinot Noir from Aconcagua. In 2026 it also buried 400 bottles in the mountains to keep them underground for 180 days, in a project it calls El Refugio.

Puntí Ferrer has no tourism program: it publishes no tours, prices or hours, and its website only asks you to write to andrespunti@puntiferrer.com to inquire about visits; it also answers on WhatsApp at +56 9 9329 9737. Arrange things before going, because it is a working winery. The wines are bought in its online store, tiendapuntiferrer.cl, with shipping throughout Chile and free delivery on orders over CLP 50,000, and the house also mentions La Vinoteca and Líder. No restaurant or accommodation is published.
