“I was born in Portugal within a four-generation family of wine growers, Caves Messias. Driven by my passion, I decided to work in the wine industry and

specialized in winemaking after graduating in agricultural engineering.

In 1997, my professional career started at Rozes elaborating Porto wines as the head of winemaking. In 1999, I decided to settle in Argentina.

After successful years I was appointed director of oenology of Bodegas Chandon including Chandon, Terrazas de los Andes and Cheval des Andes.

In 2009, I fully took over winemaking and management of Numanthia, in the D.O. Toro.

Between 2015 and 2019, I was the CEO of Tenute del Mondo, an International group which included Achaval Ferrer (Argentina), Pago de Arínzano (Spain) and a share of Tenute di Toscana (Masseto, Ornellaia, Luce della Vite, Castelgiocondo), where I was Board member.

Finally, in 2019 I moved to Chile to be in charge of the most recognized of Chilean iconic wines, Almaviva.”
