Butron Budinich Winery

The Family

We maintain the same vineyards used 70 years ago to produce the first musts in the region.Our family arrived from Europe at the beginning of the 20th century to settle in the city of Rancagua, Cachapoal Province, beginning the wine industry in the region in the 1930s, a tradition that is maintained to this day by their children and grandchildren.

Respecting the important role our ancestors played in our technical and personal development, today, four generations later, we remain connected to the Chilean wine industry, utilizing all the experience passed down from our parents and grandparents, combining it with the energy and modernity of 21st-century youth.

The first wines produced by our family in the city were intended to supply residents who, in groups, bought wine for annual family consumption in 800- to 1,500-liter casks, which they periodically collected in 15-liter or 5-liter bottles. Over time, sales expanded to include 10-liter containers (Chuicas) or 5-liter containers (carafes), making it a custom in the city to go to the winery and buy wine directly. As time progressed, wine began to be sold in 1.0-liter and 750-cc bottles in the 1960s as a way to have more manageable and transportable containers.

Among the brands marketed locally were San Gerardo, Santa Eugenia, and Los Molinos. At the turn of the century, a modernization project was undertaken, introducing new technology, a new winery, and brands with an image tailored to premium products focused on the international market and the world's most discerning palates. These brands embody the purity of Chilean nature, represented by the mountains, and the passion of our people for what they do and love.

The primary grape varieties grown include Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Carmenere, Malbec, Carignan, Petit Verdot, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, and Semillon. These high-quality grapes are the foundation for their traditional red, white, rosé, and dessert wines.
