Where the band began

The founders

Two different paths, joined by one conviction: Chilean wine could speak more freely, challenge its codes and truly connect with people.

Winemaker / University Professor / Co-founder & Winemaking Director

Ignacio “Nacho” Saavedra

Ignacio has a recognised career creating award-winning wines at different wineries. His detailed, innovative approach and deep connection to viticulture have helped him create wines with identity and train new generations of winemakers.

As co-founder and winemaking director of Forajidos, he leads the pursuit of quality and the interpretation of each territory, pushing boundaries without losing elegance or the intensity of Chilean fruit.

“Making wine at Forajidos means expressing the terroir in every bottle, with the intensity of the fruit and the elegance of Chilean wines.”

Co-founder / Brand, Commercial Strategy & Sales Director

Luis Enrique “Lucho” Izquierdo

After more than 25 years in the industry and working across the Americas, Europe and Oceania, Lucho reached a clear conclusion: premium wine deserved a revolution in how it communicates, presents itself and connects with new audiences.

His experience in strategy, marketing and sales shaped a brand that challenges the status quo without compromising quality. At Forajidos, every bottle, label and message must be as exceptional as the wine inside.

For Lucho, marketing is a way to build real connections between a brand and the people who choose it. Forajidos was not born to occupy one more place on a wine list, but to leave a mark.

“The world of wine can be incredible — or incredibly boring. I chose the former.”
