- Winemaking process
Winemaker Gonzalo Pérez and his highly qualified team use the most up-to-date technology at every stage of the process.
The winery is designed to minimise the distance that the wine has to be pumped and sophisticated equipment on wheels brings all the required instruments right up to the tanks. Our fermentation tanks are of stainless steel - 5,000, 10,000, 15,000 and 30,000 litres - and their temperature control must be both precise and specific to each tank: 15°C for white wines to conserve their freshness and aroma and between 25°C and 29°C for the red wines, daily adjusted, to obtain the colour and tannins.

After fermentation, the wine-making process continues in stainless steel tanks or in French or American oak barrels. Anakena currently has 1400 barrels, 83% of them for red wines and 17% for white wines.
The oenologist tastes the wine daily to ascertain how the process is evolving and to see that the requirements defined for each type of wine are being achieved. Finally the wines are stabilised, filtered and bottled. Our bottling line is one of the most modern in Chile. It is fully automatic, and allows us to bottle and label 8000 units per hour.
