Veramonte

Veramonte: A Pioneer of Organic Excellence and Sustainable Winemaking Veramonte is one of the most significant and historic estates in Chile’s Casablanca Valley. As a trailblazer in the region, the winery has evolved into a global leader in organic viticulture, dedicated to crafting wines that are a pure expression of their "living soils" and natural environment. A Legacy of Innovation Founded in the late 1990s, Veramonte was instrumental in putting the Casablanca Valley on the global wine map. Today, the estate is part of the González Byass family and has transitioned its entire vineyard surface to 100% organic certification. By moving away from synthetic chemicals and focusing on biodiversity, Veramonte ensures that every bottle reflects the authentic character of the Chilean landscape. The Philosophy: "Suelos Vivos" (Living Soils) At the heart of Veramonte’s mission is the belief that great wine starts with healthy soil. Their commitment to sustainability goes beyond organic farming: Biodiversity: The estate maintains natural corridors to encourage local flora and fauna, creating a balanced ecosystem that naturally protects the vines. Composting and Cover Crops: Veramonte uses its own organic compost and cover crops to nourish the soil, improve water retention, and sequester carbon. Minimal Intervention: In the cellar, the winemaking team follows a philosophy of minimal intervention, using native yeasts and gentle handling to preserve the fruit’s natural vibrancy. Iconic Terroirs: Casablanca and Colchagua While synonymous with the Casablanca Valley (famed for its cool-climate whites and Pinot Noir), Veramonte also manages exceptional vineyards in the Colchagua Valley, specifically in the prestigious Marchigüe and Apalta zones. Casablanca Valley: Ideal for crisp Sauvignon Blanc, elegant Chardonnay, and silky Pinot Noir, thanks to the cooling influence of the Pacific Ocean. Colchagua Valley: Home to their robust reds, including world-class Carmenere, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah.
