With nine wineries across Chile, including in San Pedro, Tarapaca, Leyda and Santa Helena, VSPT Wine Group has become the leader of fine wine sales in the country. The group is the second-largest exporter of Chilean wine and today delivers some of Chile's best wines to Asia.
The Group's Vina San Pedro winery, founded in 1865, is the oldest Chilean large-scale winery. This year marks 150 years of viticulture with the winery's renowned brands including Altair, 1865 Single Vineyard and Gato Negro. The winery commercialised its wines for the Asian market in 1940, when the group first exported wines to Japan.
Vina Tarapaca, founded in 1874, is the No 1 winery for ultrapremium wines in Chile, and its Gran Reserva has become a leading wine in Chile and abroad.
VSPT Wine Group's Vina Leyda winery has won numerous awards and gained international recognition. The winery's location in the region's cool, coastal climate produces highly sought-after sauvignon blanc and pinot noir wines.
The group continues to strengthen its ties to Asian markets and has significantly increased its sales in China, Hong Kong, South Korea and Japan.
"We have built our business on our solid business strategy, strong brands and quality products," says Pedro Herane, VSPT Wine Group's CEO. "As a global producer, we are today recognised both for our processes and the high quality of our wines."
The group exports wines to more than 80 countries and this year invested US$35 million in vineyard plantations and the expansion of its main bottling plant, which is set to be the most modern in South America.
"This investment will allow us to double our production capacity," Herane says.
"Combined with our world-class infrastructure and technology, we look forward to competing more efficiently within the established and growing international wine markets."
