Way back in the 1924 José Puertas was born  in Campo, a small town in the Aragonese Pyrenees of Sapin.  Being only 18 and driven by a yearning desire of growth he embarked himself on a sauling shup to Chile.

After the long trip, he headed for the South of the world where he became enchanted by a deep valley, surrounded by high mountains located in the 7th Region of Chile, called Curico (which in the Mapuche dialect means Blank Water).

From that moment on Curico, or Black Water, became the valley where José Puertas Pons would spend the rest of his life.  Over time, that generous, visionary and hardworking man grew lovend and was apreciated by everyone around.

The fertile and generous lands watered by the Teno River among wild tress and vineyards would  make a lifetime dream come true.  in the beginning the vineyard's total surface was 80 hectares with a one million-liter wine cellar.

Originally the company's business consisted on trading graps, bulk wine and providing wine making services to important Chilean companies.

This turned the company  into one of the most credited wine producers in the Curico Valley.
