Campos de Solana

The Campos de Solana story begins with Luis Granier Ballivián, known throughout Bolivia as Don Lucho, who founded Sociedad Agroindustrial del Valle Ltda. (SAIV) to expand his father-in-law's pioneering work in the Valley of Cinti. His father-in-law's development became the first industrialized distillery in the Valley of Cinti, a historic Singani-producing zone in southern Bolivia, and Don Lucho built SAIV as the modern industrial vehicle for that legacy. Casa Real, the Singani brand established in 1981, became the cornerstone of the group and grew into Bolivia's largest Singani producer, with around 5 million liters of annual output and roughly 80 percent of the domestic premium Singani market. Campos de Solana emerged as the wine brand within the same SAIV family, allowing the Granier operation to extend from Bolivia's national grape spirit into international-style table wine. The two brands share infrastructure, family leadership, and the same Tarija vineyard sources, with Casa Real providing the financial and operational backbone that supports Campos de Solana's premium wine ambitions.

• Don Lucho founded SAIV to expand his father-in-law's first industrialized Cinti distillery
• Casa Real established 1981 and is now Bolivia's largest Singani producer
• Casa Real produces around 5 million liters annually with around 80 percent of premium Singani market
• Campos de Solana is the table wine brand within the same Granier family SAIV group

Campos de Solana is now in its fourth generation of Granier family ownership, with the operation passing from Don Lucho through successive generations while remaining firmly family-led. The current generation has expanded both the vineyard footprint and the brand's international profile, while the family retains direct control over winemaking decisions, vineyard development, and commercial strategy. The combined SAIV operation, including both Casa Real Singani and Campos de Solana wines, employs around 120 people across the Tarija operations, making it one of the larger employers in the Tarija agricultural economy. The fourth-generation leadership has prioritized international awards as a market-development strategy, recognizing that Bolivia lacks the consumer recognition of Argentina, Chile, or Uruguay and that medal recognition opens both export markets and premium domestic positioning. The continuity of family ownership across four generations gives Campos de Solana a depth of institutional knowledge about Tarija viticulture that few Bolivian operations can match.

• Fourth generation of Granier family ownership, descended from founder Don Lucho
• Family retains direct control over winemaking, vineyards, and commercial strategy
• Around 120 employees across SAIV operations including Casa Real Singani
• International awards strategy chosen to overcome Bolivia's low consumer recognition

Campos de Solana farms around 200 hectares of vineyards in Tarija's Central Valley, the heart of Bolivian viticulture in the country's far south. Tarija vineyards sit at altitudes typically ranging from around 1,700 to over 2,300 meters above sea level, among the highest commercial wine-growing zones in the world. The high altitude delivers intense ultraviolet radiation, large diurnal temperature swings, and a dry continental climate that favors thick-skinned varieties and natural acidity retention. Soils in the Central Valley are predominantly alluvial with sandy loam textures over older substrates, generally low in organic matter and well-drained. The combination of altitude, latitude near 21 degrees south, and dry winters with summer-concentrated rainfall produces ripe but structured wines with characteristic Andean expression. Campos de Solana sources from multiple parcels across the Central Valley, including higher-altitude sites that anchor the Single Vineyard Tannat program. The vineyard base is one of the largest controlled holdings of premium wine vineyards in Bolivia.

• Around 200 hectares of vineyards across Tarija's Central Valley
• High-altitude viticulture between roughly 1,700 and over 2,300 meters
• Intense ultraviolet light, large diurnal swings, and dry continental climate
• Higher-altitude sites anchor the Single Vineyard Tannat program

Campos de Solana works with a broad varietal palette suited to Tarija's high-altitude climate. The principal varieties include Cabernet Sauvignon, Tannat, Malbec, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Riesling, and French Colombard, providing both red and white production across a range of styles. Cabernet Sauvignon, Tannat, and Malbec form the structural core of the red portfolio, with Tannat in particular standing out as a signature Bolivian expression aligned with the variety's success across the broader Andean and Río de la Plata wine zones. Syrah and Cabernet Franc add stylistic range, while Riesling and French Colombard support the white production. Annual output of around 1.2 million liters, the equivalent of roughly 1.5 million bottles, places Campos de Solana among the largest premium wine producers in Bolivia. The production scale provides the volume needed for both domestic market leadership and meaningful export distribution, while the high-altitude vineyard base provides the quality foundation that the international awards record reflects.

• Reds anchored by Cabernet Sauvignon, Tannat, Malbec, Syrah, and Cabernet Franc
• Whites built on Riesling and French Colombard for varietal range
• Annual production around 1.2 million liters, around 1.5 million bottles
• Tannat stands out as a signature Bolivian expression suited to altitude

The Trivarietal blend is the Campos de Solana icon wine and the apex of the portfolio. Built around three of the estate's strongest red varieties, the Trivarietal is the wine the family selects to represent Bolivian premium wine in top international competitions and on collector lists. Below the Trivarietal, the Single Vineyard Tannat line expresses individual high-altitude parcels of Tannat, the variety best suited to the structural and tannic challenge that altitude and intense ultraviolet light demand. The Single Vineyard Tannat program represents the premium altitude expression of the estate and demonstrates how Tarija's elevation can produce Tannat with both the natural tannin signature of the variety and the freshness that altitude preserves. Across the broader portfolio, varietal and reserve tiers in Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, and Syrah, along with Riesling and French Colombard whites, provide market reach across price points. The two icons, Trivarietal and Single Vineyard Tannat, together define the brand's premium identity.

• Trivarietal blend: icon wine built from three of the estate's strongest red varieties
• Single Vineyard Tannat line: premium altitude expression from individual parcels
• Reserve-tier Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, and Syrah anchor the broader red portfolio
• Riesling and French Colombard whites complete the varietal range

Campos de Solana is among the youngest wineries in international wine and also among the most awarded relative to its scale. The estate has accumulated more than 50 international awards since 2000, with consistent recognition at Concours Mondial de Bruxelles and other major competitions including the Decanter World Wine Awards and various Latin American competitions. The awards record matters strategically for Bolivian wine. Unlike Argentina, Chile, or Uruguay, Bolivia carries no significant consumer recognition in major export markets, and medal recognition provides the trust signal that consumers and trade need to consider the wines. Campos de Solana has therefore become the brand most responsible for Bolivia's emerging international profile, with the awards record opening export markets, supporting premium domestic positioning, and providing the broader Bolivian industry with a benchmark for international ambition. The combination of fourth-generation family stewardship, Casa Real Singani heritage, high-altitude Tarija viticulture, and a sustained international awards record places Campos de Solana at the center of any conversation about Bolivian wine.

• More than 50 international awards since 2000
• Consistent recognition at Concours Mondial de Bruxelles
• Awards strategy drives both export market access and premium domestic positioning
• Brand most responsible for Bolivia's emerging international wine profile
