Winemaking

Restless, perfectionist, and innovative are qualities that define Andrés Caballero’s personality. After graduating from Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile he travelled to Australia to work at the Rosemount Estate in Hunter Valley. Upon his return to Chile, he became part of the team at Viña Montes, where he took on the production of Premium wines in the area of Apalta.
He came on board at Carolina Wine Brands in 2005, where his work has been marked by his leadership and team work, the exploration of new areas in traditional winegrowing valleys, and experimenting with different varieties and winemaking techniques.
The fundamental mission of Andrés Caballero and his team is to consolidate the unique personality of Santa Carolina wines, emphasizing the virtues and characteristics of each of the terroir where our grapes grow.

“At Santa Carolina we produce wines that reflect our heritage, history, and identity. Each of our wines seeks its personality and complexity, seeking the fullest expression of the terroir, the fruit’s characteristics, and soft tannins.”
