In the operative sector 45-year-old Matías Rivera, a man with almost 20 years of experience in the business, took over as new General Manager last summer. Rivera will accompany a five-year-process of development, which started in 2013 with the brands new appearance and a modernised look and which will be expanded to the cultivation sector as well. The Aresti Wine Group owns about 1.200 hectares of land, of which 360 are cultivated with vines. The share of the company’s own grapes in the wine production is to be raised significantly.

The brand Aresti unites four different wine lines – the Family Collection, the line Trisquel, the Special Release and the Estate Selection. In the Family Collection the best red grapes from the vineyards are selected to create an elegant blend. The wines of the Trisquel line each represent the terroir on which they grow the best. The Trisquel comes as a Cuvée, a Syrah, a Gewurztraminer and a Sauvignon Blanc. The wines of the Special Release edition are well balanced and ripe wines which are based deeply in the character and tradition of Aresti. The Estate Selection consists only of grapes from the heart of Curicó-Valley and represents fresh and expressive youth. Additionally there are the brand wines of Espíritu de Chile and Espíritu de Argentina.
