  2. HISTORY Jorge Matetic, Founder & GM In 1892, the Matetic family emigrated from Croatia to Chile to colonize Patagonia. Over the years, the family has been successful in a number of earth based businesses including farming, ranching, mining and tourism. Matetic Vineyards is part of Matetic Enterprises, a strong economic and diversified holding company with solid financial backing. While developing their Rosario Valley enterprise, they found extraordinary conditions for growing premium wine grapes giving them an opportunity to further diversify their agricultural business. In 1999, Matetic Vineyards was established in the Rosario Valley, pioneering the planting of vineyards in the San Antonio Valley. The vineyards were designed and planted Biodynamically with a total of 420 acres planted and 2/3 of the fruit is used for the production of Matetic wines. Matetic was the first Chilean winery to grow cool climate Syrah which is considered the Chilean benchmark by key wine writers such as Jancis Robinson, Decanter, Robert Parker and The Wine Spectator.

  6. ORGANIC & BIODYNAMIC PHILOSOPHY • Our 470 acres are based in organic production principles to achieve 100% natural grapes. • We obtained our certification by German organization CERES in 2004 for 276 acres and obtained certification for the rest of the vineyards in 2012 • We also work under biodynamic principles all our vineyards QUINTESSENTIAL IMPORTER | MARKETER | DISTRIBUTOR www.quintessentialwines.com

  7. BIODYNAMIC PHILOSOPHY • Create an enclosed system in relation to the nutrients, that is to say, with the capacity to produce and replace, within the property, the nutrients that the plants need for grape production. • Create biodiversity within the property, transforming it to an organism capable of self-regulating the presence of plagues and illnesses. • Apply 8 biodynamic preparations to stimulate and maintain the processes of life that occur in nature. • Achieve an integrated management system where the problem solving is not focused on a single action, but is based on the dynamics of the relationships between organisms.
