November 2^nd, 2011.- Viña San Pedro

These awards recognize the excellence in all levels of the industry, from producing Premium wines and spirits, to their commercialization. Therefore, this great acknowledgement highlights the importance that

San Pedro has achieved on the global wine-industry scenario, as well as the great progress it has managed to reach.

In August, the publication had released the 55 nominees’ list for the 13 categories of these awards.

San Pedro appeared then, competing within the classification of New World Winery with very important producers, such as the Argentinean Bodega Norton, the South African De Toren, the Canadian Mission Hill Family Estate and the Australian Penfolds.

This was San Pedro’s third consecutive nomination, as last year it was postulated for the same distinction, and the year before, 2009, it was the VSPT Wine Group, from which this winery is part. So: the third was the charm!!

With over 20 years of trajectory, the Wine Enthusiast Magazine has become one of the most respected and quoted specialized publications worldwide. The whole global wine-world follows and acknowledges its opinions, especially in regards to the scores and reviews included within its Buying Guide, where wines from all over the world are qualified.

Between the 28^th and the 30^th of September, San Pedro and Tarapacá were present at the by-now traditional Feria de Vinos de Chile (Trade Fair of Wines of Chile) at the Plaza San Francisco Hotel, with stands that received numerous visitors and consultations.

Making time to contribute with the community too, on Thursday September 29^th, San Pedro offered its wines at a concert in benefit of Colegio Nocedal school which was held at Universidad de los Andes.

Also, our San Pedro, Tarapacá and ViñaMar wineries were part of the exhibitors at the 1^st Echinuco meeting of Chilean gastronomy, which was held at Parque Bicentenario in Vitacura, and Viñamar carried out tastings at the 3^rd Chicureo Bazar fair, which took place at the Guay-Guay Estate, in Piedra Roja.

Viñamar Sparklings excelled, since they were present to refresh those who attended both activities that took place during the last weekend of September.

At Echinuco, visitors of the exhibit were able to enjoy delicious typically Chilean preparations outdoors, accompanied by our Viñamar Sparklings, as well as finishing walking around Chicureo Bazar and contemplating the beautiful gardens of Guay-Guay Estate with a refreshing glass of Viñamar Sparkling in their hands. .

It was a great invitation to enjoy this spring with all 5 senses!

September, 2011.-

This fourteenth version of the trade fair –organized by Wines of Chile-, took place at the Royal Horticultural Halls of London, and this time, it included almost 100 Chilean wine cellars which exhibited a total amount of 500 wines during the event. In addition, seminars and tastings with a thematic focus were carried out.

The VSPT Group was present at a stand that gathered an exhibit of the best wines from San Pedro, Santa Helena, Misiones de Rengo, Viña Mar and Casa Rivas wineries.

Every year, the show congregates hundreds of journalists, retail traders, sommeliers and the most important purchasers in this important European market, becoming the perfect instance to strengthen bonds and, at the same time, to establish new trading links.

The Director of Wines of Chile’s office in England, Michael Cox, summarized the meeting as follows: “We have had a tremendous exhibit of the strength of Chilean wine cellars this year. We have also been able to see the great interest there is from key purchasers in the market, which augurs very good business for the industry. Comments made by several guests suggest that Chile continues to push the right buttons, on all levels, and maybe what’s most interesting for us, is the growing interest there is in our Premium wines”.

Undoubtedly, a most valuable instance to develop trading links and promote our brands in this country which has always stood out for its hospitality and enthusiastic welcoming to our wines.

This program also has the added value of “starting at home”, because it is aimed at all VSPT collaborators, their spouses and families.

It runs in 5 stages: sensitization, workshops, formation of leaders-monitors, action planning, and carrying out of prevention actions in the communities.

Participants have expressed they are very enthusiastic about the content of these workshops. They highlight the interactive character of this training and emphasize the importance of these kind of activities, which are totally free for them, as they help them to build skills in order to educate their children and raise their responsibility towards alcohol consumption, such a complex topic currently in our country.

The program Educating within the Family is another of the initiatives conforming the VSPT Wine Group’s 360°Sustainable plan and shows once again, this group’s constant preoccupation in order to contribute to a better, healthier and more sustainable life, helping to form individuals with reflexive skills and social conscience.
