Pablo Álvarez Mezquiriz (Bilbao, 1954) is the CEO of Tempos Vega Sicilia. He is the owner, along with his siblings, of El Enebro, the equity company of the Álvarez family and is the current Chair of Europvin, which represents Europe's best wine portfolio.

He completed his upper secondary studies at schools in Bilbao and Gijón, graduated in Law from the Centro de Estudios Universitarios de Madrid and holds a Diploma in Corporate Legal Advice from the Madrid Business Institute.

Pablo Álvarez held different posts at Eulen, where he was Director from 1980 to 2009. He was appointed as the General Manager of Bodegas Vega Sicilia in 1986 and CEO of that company in 1990, a post that he continues to hold.

During the thirty years he has been at the helm of Vega Sicilia, Pablo Álvarez has turned that winery into a unique group of wines that is renowned worldwide. He has notably improved the quality of the wines, restored the vineyards for the future, set up four new wineries - Alión, Pintia, Oremus and Bodegas Benjamin de Rothschild Vega Sicilia - and has driven the growth and international expansion of all their brands.

In any event, Pablo Álvarez, a perfectionist who is never satisfied, is often heard capturing that in a nutshell: "The best is still to be done, the best vintage must be the next one".

Marta Álvarez is a member of the family that owns Vega Sicilia and currently heads the winery group. She is totally committed to ensuring utmost quality and sincerely admires the "TEMPOS Vega Sicilia" wines. She has overseen the introduction of the Álvarez family's latest winemaking projects, Macán, in conjunction with Benjamin de Rothschild.

A chance visit made him realise that wine was his future and unleashed his great passion, which is what enables him to enjoy his work. After completing his Agricultural Engineering studies at Universidad Politécnica of Madrid, and training as an oenologist at the E.N.S.A. in Montpellier, he began his professional career in a family-run winery in Ribera del Duero. He was appointed technical director of Bodegas Habla and from 2009 he worked as export-manager for the Iberian region (Spain, Portugal and Latin America) of Lamothe-Abiet.

He is now embarking on a new stage of his career, in which he will continue to pursue an uncompromising commitment to quality, as established by Vega Sicilia. He brings with him all the efficiency of participatory working methods and teamwork, as well as the need to learn from those around him on a daily basis. He is an affable character with a strict sense of responsibility, and proposes that a grape's personality should always be reflected in all the wines he creates.

Enrique Macías joined the management team as the Viticulture Director. His work at the head of the vineyard, as well as of the rest of the agronomic division, has played a key role in improving the wine and to implement the arboriculture projects existing in each winery. His passion and respect are clear for the land and for the environment where he works every day, and he has managed to improve, even further, one of the great vineyards of the world.
