Salas will take up his new position on 1 October and replaces winemaker Carlos Gatica.

Eduardo Alemparte, technical director for Santa Rita Estates, commented: “Gatica was a hugely valued member of the winemaking team who made an outstanding contribution during his eleven years with Santa Rita. His attention to detail in ensuring consistent quality and standards of excellence has undoubtedly helped to position Santa Rita 120 wine as one of our most successful global exports.”

Salas meanwhile is a graduate of Chile’s Pontifica Universidad Católica where he studied winemaking and viticulture.
