Santa Rita Estates —which includes the Chilean wineries Santa Rita and Carmen, as well as Doña Paula in Argentina— was awarded Premium Drinks Business of the Year at the 2025 Positive Luxury Awards. This international accolade honors companies leading the shift toward a more sustainable and conscious luxury industry.
