Oveja Negra History

Translated literally as “Black Sheep,” Oveja Negra wines intend to stand out from the flock. “Dare to be yourself” is their slogan and the winery demonstrates a clear focus on innovation. True representations of Chile’s Maule Valley, Oveja Negra wines sing strident of their roots, but are willing to challenge convention.

The Maule Valley offers a significant diversity of soil types, allowing a wide range of grape varieties to grow. As part of the VIA Wines family and with 1,160 acres of estate vineyards to work with, Winemaker Edgard Carter and his team have a broad array of grapes available to them to provide constant inspiration for innovation and experimentation.

The Reserva tier features unusual blends, such as a Sauvignon Blanc-Carmenere, a blend of red and white grapes. Oveja Negra’s Single Vineyard wines are crafted to make each Maule Valley vineyard site shine bright, combining a fruit-driven structure with modern winemaking techniques.
