In 1990, Luis Victor Chirino, a pioneer in the San Juan construction industry and passionate about the regionās winemaking tradition, invested in land suitable for the cultivation of grape varieties and in two wineries which today produce wines and sparkling wines with state-of-the-art technology.
Don Luis’ interest in winemaking was born in the 80’s. He bought the historic Antigua Bodega and after an intense restoration work, he reopened its doors in 1994. The participation of his wife, Azucena JuĆ”rez de Chirino, who, through renowned local artists, managed to define her own style in the decoration of the halls and spaces of the winery, stands out.
Philosophy
The philosophy of Antigua Bodega and its products stems from the inspiration that this historic building had on the Chirino family. After the 1944 earthquake which devastated the city of San Juan, many families made Antigua Bodega their refuge, and the only way for people to get back on their feet again was through the indispensable virtue of solidarity.
History
Antigua Bodega, originally called āEl Parque,ā is one of the first buildings in San Juan (1918) with an anti-seismic structure and pure, stylish architecture. During the 1944 earthquake, nearly all of San Juan’s old buildings collapsed, while Antigua Bodega stayed almost intact. Numerous families took refuge there during the reconstruction of the surrounding areas, and this extraordinary building became part of the architectural heritage of San Juan and a true example of the solidarity of the province and its inhabitants. It was a mute witness to a life-changing historic event, imbued with hard work, hope and rebirth, and resulting in the gratification of a job well done ā ideals emulated in the processes we follow to produce our high-quality wines and sparkling wines.

BULK WINES
FLEXITANKS
One container can carry 10,000 liters of bottled wine, compared to the 24,000 liters that a Flexitank can carry, which is more than twice as much. This naturally translates into considerable savings in transportation costs, and CO2 emissions are estimated to be reduced by 50%.
IBC (INTERMEDIATE BULK CONTAINERS)
The advantage of this 1,000-liter container is that it allows different bulk wines to be shipped in a single 20,000-liter container in a standard 20-foot container, and can be stacked up to two high.
The wine is exported ready to be bottled, so you wonāt need tanks in your bottling plant; simply connect the IBC to your bottling line under a just-in-time (JIT) system.
