Agustin Huneeus is the proprietor for Quintessa, one of the Napa Valley’s most highly regarded wineries. One of the few vintners who has dedicated his entire professional life to the wine industry, Agustin began his more than 50-year career in the city where he was born — Santiago, Chile.
Agustin entered the Chilean wine business in 1960 as chief executive officer of Concha y Toro. At the time a small winery, Concha y Toro grew under his leadership to become Chile’s largest winery. In 1971, Chile’s difficult political climate led Agustin to leave his home country. He moved to New York and subsequently headed Seagram’s worldwide wine operations, which included fourteen wineries in nine countries, including Paul Masson in the United States. Upon leaving Seagram, he founded Noble Vineyard in California’s Central Valley in 1977 and later acquired Concannon Vineyard, a premium winery in the Livermore Valley.
In 1985, Agustin became partner and acting president of Franciscan Estates. While there, he developed numerous brands and wineries, turning the ailing company into a successful group of premium wine estates. These estates included Franciscan, Estancia, Mount Veeder, and Veramonte Winery in Chile, which he created. In 1999, he sold his interest in Franciscan Estates and created Huneeus Vintners, a company dedicated to fine wine properties.
