The story of the Matetic Winery begins in 1999 when the Matetic family decided to diversify their business ventures and enter the world of wine, confident in the virtues of the climate and soils in the Rosario Valley of Chile. With a firm conviction in the vital importance of maintaining a strong professional team to guide every step of the project, the family incorporated Alan York (Biodynamic Consultant), Ken Bernards (Consulting Winemaker, Ancien), and Ann Kraemer (Viticultural Consultant) into the project in 2000 to ensure that Matetic wines achieve the highest quality.

Matetic is located in central Chile with a close proximity to the Pacific Ocean. Total production is under 14,000 cases.
