  Dona Paula
The zones chosen for our vineyards were exhaustively analyzed in order to determine their potential for high quality wines. Among the studies performed; flakes,analysis of feasibility and salinity were done, being the results amazingly promising. At the same time, Ugarteche's vineyard, to more than 1.000 feet above the sea level, was relying on more than 30 hectares of vineyards planted in 1971, which are ideal for the production of high quality fruit. The following year, 1998, Doña Paula was in full expansion and plantation of vineyards in the acquired surfaces.
The year 1999 is of significant importance for Doña Paula, since it was firstly harvested. Argentina had this year an outstanding vintage, and Doña Paula was not the exception. Recently equipped vineyards, great thermal extent and few rains in the months of ripeness, had as a result deep wines, with intense colors and complex bouquet. Doña Paula introduces this year the Selección de Bodega line and Doña Paula Estate.
The years 2000 and 2001 are for reorganizing the operation and to prepare the commercial release.
The investments in top cellar technology continues (decanters, cold equipments, barrels) and vineyards (anti hail meshes and new plantations) and, the staff is enlarged.The facilities are remodeled to receive press members and visitors. At the same time the birth of a new brand
is outlined: Los Cardos.
The 2001 vintage is the first opportunity when grapes are allotted to this new denomination of Doña Paula. The year 2002 is Doña Paula's commercial openning. With the formation of an independent commercial team, plus the back up, experience and know-how of the related companies in Chile and their external branches Doña Paula starts exporting to more than 20 markets around the world.
