Valle Secreto occupies a corner of the far southeastern end of the Cachapoal Valley, in the Los Maquis area of the municipality of Malloa, 132 km south of Santiago and 8 km up toward the mountains. The project began in the late 1990s as an idea of Antonio Puntí and Claudio Berndt, who spent a couple of years looking for an estate on which to make only fine wines. The winery dates its birth to 2007 and says it bottled its first wines around 2010; today Claudio Berndt runs it with his family. Next to the vineyards stands the chapel of San José de Los Maquis, begun around 1830 for the wedding of Josefa Eulalia Madariaga, daughter of the owners of the old estate. It opened to the community in 1870 and in 2010 the winery pledged to the Archdiocese of Rancagua to restore and maintain it.
The estate has 70 hectares in the Cachapoal Andes D.O., at 550 meters above sea level and crossed by the Rigulemu stream: almost 30 are planted and around 30 are kept wild. The soils are more alluvial near the stream and more colluvial farther from it, and the difference between day and night temperatures reaches 20 °C. There are Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Carménère, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Viognier on trellises, harvested into 12-kilo crates. The two-level winery, semicircular in plan, uses a mobile arm to carry the grapes to the tanks by gravity; its steel tanks are small, from 3,500 to 10,000 liters. There are five lines: First Edition, single-variety wines and a Viognier Late Harvest; Private, limited and numbered editions; Origen, held in egg-shaped vessels made with alluvial stones from the estate itself; De Fruta Madre, a carbonic-maceration Carménère inspired by Beaujolais, and Profundo, the icon wine, a five-grape blend with 24 months in 500-liter barrels. The house was accredited under the Wines of Chile Sustainability Code in early 2018 and says it is present in more than 15 countries.
Visits run Tuesday to Saturday, with prior booking, and are arranged with the tourism team by email or phone. The Tour Primera Experiencia and the Tour Experiencia Mixta last 90 minutes and cover vineyards, soil pits, winery and chapel before the tasting. There is also a tour with a three-course lunch, a picnic with a basket, a Mapa del Tesoro (treasure map) designed for visiting with children and a Tour Secreto, whose content the winery does not detail online. The winery has a bar and café, and Casa Valle Secreto, its events center, has gardens and terraces. The wine shop is at the same address and opens Tuesday to Friday 10:00 to 17:00 and Saturdays 9:00 to 14:00; wines can also be ordered by WhatsApp from the website. The commercial offices are elsewhere, at Ruta 5 Sur km 103, in Rengo.
