Our Winemakers

To date, Llama Wines is working with four winemakers in the Tarija Valley. All four were chosen because of their high quality wines and their love for their native Bolivia.

Campos de Solana

The Terroir

Campos de Solana's wines are grown in one of the highest elevation wine regions in the world. Its vineyards are located at more than 1850 meters and receive more sun than in traditional wine latitudes. Therefore the grapes have a greater flavor and aroma. To this unmatched natural resource, Campos de Solana adds the dedication of its winemakers and technology that has led the winery to be distinguished as one of the leading modern winemakers in South America.

Premier Wines

Campos de Solana is one of Bolivia's premier winemakers. It is a modern and welcoming winery known for the quality of its wines and beautiful vineyards. The team at Campos de Solana was the first winery to sign on with Llama wines and through this first year, we have built a strong relationship.

Known for their award-winning wine, "Esther Ortiz," Campos de Solana also produces other perfectly-crafted blends, unique in their style and composition. Among these are their "Bi" and "Tri" wines, which vary in terms of varietal year to year based on harvest and quality. This results every year in beautifully expressive bottlings owing to the winemakers' skills.

The Accolades

Thanks to Tarija's ideal environment, the quality of Campos de Solana wines is internationally recognized from its numerous honors and medals in important competitions such as the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles. The wines stand out as one of the 20 best Latin American wines.
The high altitude, the thermal amplitude between day and night, the high luminosity and the purity of the environment of Tarija make it an extremely well-suited viticultural area.

Campos de Solana's team works to demonstrate that the characteristics of this wine growing region, accompanied by technological innovation, build the framework to produce world-class wines.

Sustainability and Innovation

Campos de Solana's work in the vineyards includes the recovery of eroded lands, the selection and investigation of varieties, the implementation of drip irrigation, and manual harvesting.

Compared to other more traditional wine-growing regions, Tarija's altitude and environment allow the winemakers to concentrate on the finer points of the viticultural process. Besides sustainability, Campos de Solana's staff focuses on innovation through technology and oenological practices. This includes microvinifications and newly developed vine cuts that consistently achieve a perfectly balanced result.

Cruce del Zorro

Setting a New Standard for Bolivian Wine

Cruce del Zorro is on a mission to bring Bolivian wine to the world stage. Through the partnership with Llama Wines, Cruce del Zorro is making its first venture into an export market.

As producers of small batches of premium wines, they are focused on revealing the best our country has to offer through collaboration with local farmers and the highest degree of passion and care in their work.

Crafted in the Mountains of Tarija

A relatively new winery, Bodega Cruce del Zorro was born in 2015 in Concepción Valley, Tarija.

The team of winemakers, local producers, and farmers is accompanied by internationally-renowned agronomists and wine experts, resulting in a group with more than four generations of winemaking experience spanning Australia, Argentina, Bolivia, and Oregon.

A Commitment to Sustainability, the Community & the Grapes

The "Touching the Sky" program was inspired by successful Bolivian coffee enterprises with the goal of helping and connecting farmers at a local level in the south of Bolivia.

The promise is to construct a collaborative network that helps the local producers prosper, obtain sustainable profits, and learn valuable financial and agronomic skills. Above all, Cruce del Zorro encourages them to protect the most important treasure of our industry – the grapes.

Bodegas Kuhlmann

Winemaking Tradition

The family winemaking tradition, started in 1893 with Mr. David Molina, who made wine, singani, and ratafia, started to flourish in 1930, thanks to Mr. Franz Kuhlmann. His vision, passion, and commitment lead him to found Kuhlmann & Cia. Ltda in a farm called Vivicha, in the Camargo area. In an artisanal way, he began to make port wine, ratafía, and a singani that was very well received in La Paz, Oruro, Potosí, and mining centers. He marketed the singani under an attractive French cognac label, with three stars appearing in the design as an indicator of branding.

The Winery Today

Today, this wonderful Heritage is in hands of the family's 4th generation, which honors the foundational values of ART, SCIENCE, AND TECHNOLOGY to continue growing and perfecting the manufacturing and commercialization of premium Wines and spirits.

Tellus Wines

Winemaking Tradition

Tellus is our newest winery and a relatively new winery to the Tarija Valley. However, they have a long family tradition of wine making. Some wines are born of a single harvest, while others take shape over decades. Tellus Wines belongs to this latter lineage—projects that spring from family memory, quiet labor, and a love for the land. Now led by María Isabel Pinedo, this winemaking venture continues a story begun by her grandfather René, who—unknowingly—planted more than just vines; he planted a destiny. Past, present, and future converge in every bottle of Tellus, blending nature, time, and the people who work the land.*

The Wines

The name Tellus—Mother Earth—encapsulates the essence of the winery. The land is origin, refuge, and destination. At Tellus, wine is conceived as a natural extension of the landscape. The wines are envisioned in the vineyard and brought to life in the winery without losing their roots. They do not seek to impose an external identity, but rather to reveal the one that already exists in the soil, the climate, and each vintage.*

We are importing two wines from Tellus:

Amor Fati - a red wine consisting of a blend of 60% Tannat, 20% Syrah, 10% Marselan, 10% Petit Verdot.

Memento Mori - a red wine of 100% Tannat.
