I know Philippe Ortega since the early 1990s and have come to know him as one of the most professional people in the wine business. With a deep knowledge of the Spanish and the international wine world, a sharp and analytical intelligence, fluency in 5 different languages and moreover warm, sympathetic, friendly character, he offers a quite unique combination of qualities which make him the outstanding wine
professional he is. I worked with him in various roles and have always much enjoyed our collaboration.

With solid experience in the Wines & Spirit business Philippe has played a key role in redefining the company strategy and Ways of Working and has been essential in the implementation of our plan. His amazing international background and knowledges are really helping to bring width and Depth in all analysis. He has a natural ability to communicate and very strong interpersonal skills that make him a very efficient and highly respected manager by his peers and all employees. I really enjoyed working with him during these 8 years and the trust he inspires make you grow and be stronger.

I have known Philippe for almost 15 years, and he has always demonstrated not only a broad knowledge of the wine industry in commercial aspects but also in the aspect of sensitivity for the wine itself and for the people who make it. It is as important to know and value well-made wines as it is to recognize and support those who make them. For me this is Philippe’s great value and authenticity.
