In 2002, Valeria and Agustin Huneeus' dream of the Quintessential Wine Estate, one vineyard that produces one singular estate wine, was realized with the opening of the winery at Quintessa.

Quintessa's caves structure consists of 1,200 linear feet, and 17,000 square feet of caves and tunnels carved into the volcanic ash hillside directly behind the winery. Here the wine is left to age in French oak barrels in the caves' ideal cellarage conditions for three years from vintage before its release. Quintessa's caves can be entered through one of four porticos from the winery and have a capacity to store up to 3000 barrels.
