Not only have we used innovation with what goes into the bottle, but also its packaging. In 1995, we were the first winery in South America to use synthetic corks. In 2002, we were the first Chilean winery to use screwcaps with aromatic white wines; this is the best closure to keep a wine young, fresh and oxidation-free. From 2002 onwards, based on product performance, technical development and market response, we have shifted most of our Whites, Ross and Pinot Noirs along with Reds intended for brief cellaring to advanced screwcap closures.To Cono Sur quality is a concept that is present in all of our productive stages. It begins with the definition of the right valley and vineyard. The right grape in the right terroir. The next step is to ensure that the vines are healthy, following up closely their growth and the ripening of the grapes. In order to achieve this, we must monitor each vineyard with regular visits, which also helps us determine when it is time to harvest. Once the grapes are picked and the vinification begins, quality is sought after by ensuring that fermentation is done correctly and that each variety is reaches its maximum potential. When the fermentation is done the winemakers must decide on type of barrels, aging, blending to achieve the best wine possible. Finally, comes the bottling which requires the rigorous attention of supplies and technical parameters.Since its conception, Cono Sur has been deeply committed to the development of its environmental policies, believing that high quality wine production can work hand-in-hand with eco-friendly practices. Over the years, we have implemented a clean action plan, which embraces our natural vineyard management, organic production, ISO certifications and balancing our CO2 emissions through our CarbonNeutral delivery status.
