A DEDICATED WINE FAMILY

THE CHOSEN FEW

At the heart of De Aguirre wines, lies “the chosen few”, a curated collection of five family wine brands that are deeply intertwined with our history and heritage. These are the labels we nurture with unparalleled passion and care, from the vine to the bottle.

We proudly offer these authentic wines to importers who seek to provide their customers with exceptional quality and compelling stories.

PASSION FOR WINE

Our winery is a testament to generations of dedication—family-owned and passionately managed, with three generations working side by side to uphold the Family Brands as a symbol of quality, tradition, and enduring family values.

It all began with Mr. Pedro Etcheberry, a French agronomist who planted the seeds of our winemaking heritage. Following in his footsteps, Pedro Félix de Aguirre and Ana María Etcheberry founded Bodegas De Aguirre SA, a 100% family-owned winery built on a deep agricultural tradition. Today, the winery is managed by the seven De Aguirre-Etcheberry siblings guided by principles of trust, responsibility, sustainability, and teamwork.

Nestled near Villa Alegre in the heart of Maule Valley, just 285 kilometers south of Santiago in Chile, our 520 hectares of vineyards thrive under the care of our family. Every bottle we produce carries the soul of our heritage a blend of hard work, passion, and the unwavering love that only a family business can bring.
