Since its beginnings, Botalcura Winery was formed thanks to the passion of 2 men. Juan Fernando Waidele, Chilean businessman and wine lover, has always felt a special connection to a charming little town called Botalcura in Maule Valley. Philippe Debrus, French winemaker, arrived to Chile in search of something new; the challenge was not only to contribute with his experience in producing crafted wines, but to stamp them with his own personal style, throughout creativity and dedication. The encounter of these entrepreneurs in the year 2000 sealed the character of what we know today as Botalcura Winery; the purpose of its creation goes beyond the production of the best wines in Chile, but also to pour this same passion in everything we do and by this, share the results of the love we have for our job, for our town and for our wines.
