Millaman Wines
The Golden Condor of the Curicó Valley
"A Chilean family winery that blends the Italian heritage of its founders with the pure fruit of the Central Valley."
A Family Winery in the Curicó Valley
Millaman is a Chilean winery from the Curicó Valley. Its name comes from the Mapuche language and means "Golden Condor", a symbol of majesty and freedom. The story began in 1946, when the Italian immigrant José Canepa settled at Hacienda El Cóndor with the idea of making good wines in Curicó. Today the winery is run by his family and combines Italian winemaking techniques with Chilean varieties.
The Curicó Valley has a Mediterranean climate, with warm days and cool nights thanks to the nearby Andes, which helps ripen Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and the emblematic Carmenere without losing acidity. In addition, Chile's geographic isolation has protected its vineyards from phylloxera, so many vines grow on their own roots, ungrafted. For those looking for fruit-forward Chilean wines for everyday drinking, Millaman offers good value for money.
