CHILE’S CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES PAYS TRIBUTE TO THE CAREER OF OUR FOUNDER, AURELIO MONTES SR.

In a solemn and special ceremony held at the former National Congress building, the country’s Chamber of Deputies paid heartfelt tribute to the career and legacy of our founder, Aurelio Montes Sr, in recognition of a life dedicated to transforming the reputation of Chilean wine and projecting our country’s identity on a global scale.<br/>It was a deeply moving occasion that will be marked with pride in the history of Montes Wines. Authorities, Members of Parliament, representatives from the diplomatic corps and the wine sector, together with his family and colleagues, gathered to celebrate a career that transcends the individual and reflects a profound conviction: that Chile could achieve excellence and be recognised as one the world’s leading wine producers.<br/>They highlighted not only his business leadership but also his public vocation, his ability to build consensus, and his permanent commitment to the wine sector’s development. Special value was placed on Aurelio Montes Sr’s role in strengthening the Bancada del Vino, a cross-party initiative that is currently driving fundamental projects to promote Chile’s viticultural identity.<br/>This tribute confirms what we experience every day at Montes Wines: Aurelio Montes Sr is not only protagonist of a historic transformation but also inspiration to many, with his vision, energy, and deep connection to the land and its people. His legacy motivates us to aim higher, to build with conviction, and to share the very best of our land and culture with the world..
