Doña Paula was founded in 1997 by the respected South American entrepreneur, Ricardo Claro. The backing of this important enterprise allows Doña Paula to establish itself as a well financed, innovative winery seeking to produce world class wines. The vineyards that were purchased by Mr. Claro are planted with 40 year old, low yielding, top quality vines. The style, quality and value are directly focused on export markets. Great quality is offered at very reasonable prices. 

 

Winemaking is handled by the highly motivated, educated and experienced Stefano Gandolini. Edgardo del Popolo is viticulturist, following sustainable agriculture principles in the vineyards adjacent to the Andes mountains, thought by some to be among the most beautiful in the world.

 

Doña Paula enjoys new, state-of-the-art technology, with over 1 million liters of capacity in 100% stainless steel tanks, and French and American oak barrels.
