Maria Luz Marin:
A passionate woman came with an indefatigable spirit. This can be described Luz Maria Marin, the only Chilean woman founder and owner of a vineyard in Chile, which more than 25 years of experience in the industry has allowed him to contribute with a very particular point of view, providing a seal unique to each of the projects undertaken.
During the eighties, the professional side developed its business and embarked on the creation of new businesses. However, never put aside his passion for wine, and remained active in the industry acting in parallel as an external consultant to various companies, which lasted until 93, when he decides to return to the world of wine and engage in his passion, assuming management Bisquertt Viña exports.
In 1995 we decided to venture back into the creation of his own company, but this time within the category of wines in bulk. His vast knowledge of the industry, on par with commercial and technical skills allowed him to achieve one of the first places in the ranking of bulk wine exporters in the country. However, having a vineyard has always been the dream of his life. In 1998 acquired land in the town of Lo Abarca, Cartagena, and focused his energies towards the development of ultra premium wines, from vines that are adapted to cold weather and an absolutely unknown terroir.
The proximity of the sea, poor soil, cold weather, and the rolling hills of the Cordillera de la Costa, convinced of the enormous potential of the region. He received much criticism, but she went on. His entrepreneurial spirit was again awarded in 2002 and was selected by The Mercury as one of the 100 most outstanding women from the business in Chile.
