Bodega Estampa C. A.

Story

The origin of the name of Estampa was nothing but a miracle ...

In Santiago, Chile, one traveling salesman, not far from the central square, was selling various religious pocket images to passersby. Suddenly, he saw that Lady Estampa Carmen took off on her own, and it was wonderful to start flying over the heads of the people. For more than half an hour of random flights, together with a growing crowd of anxious people, it moved from one side of the square to the other, then across the Mapocho River. Until she gracefully landed. To celebrate this extraordinary event in 1794, the Catholic Church was built, at the same place where Estampa landed, and the church was named after Our Lady Carmen's Flying Estampa. Don Manuel González Diegos, a Spanish immigrant and grandfather of the current González, bought a wheat grinding mill located next to the newly founded church and named it Molino Estampa, in honor of the miracle of Estampa. Today, more than a hundred years later, the mill is still in operation, but the last generation of the descendants of Don Manuel, the Gonzalez-Ortis family, has set the business in a modern way. Currently, the family uses international experience in the milling industry. The Gonzalez Ortiz family continues the legacy of their great grandfather with new enthusiasm, again with a technical twist. The family built the first winery in Chile and called it Estampa to preserve the traditions of the family, and to remember, like a miracle, flying Estampa and the vision of the company's founder, Don Manuel Gonzalez Diegos. These visionaries, when combining the history of Estamp with modern technologies of viticulture, guarantee the production of wines of international quality of international quality, marked by a special style of Estampa. This style has already received international recognition, both in prestigious competitions and in the press.
