--------THE PRODUCER--------

Millaman Winery

José Canepa, an Italian immigrant, who purchased the Hacienda El Condor estate in 1946 starting the dream of producing the best wines of Curicó Valley. In 1998 the desire to expand and perpetuate the wine tradition through his three daughters led to the creation of a new winery based on the Hacienda, giving rise to Millaman Wines.
