    Portrait of Sergio Pomar

    i. Biography

    Since joining Bodegas Bianchi, Sergio Pomar has built a run of work around one brief: wines with precision and a clear sense of place. The move from cellar to vineyard in his current Chief Winemaker and Viticulture role reflects a house style shaped by years of hands-on work, including the perspective he brought back from Patagonian winemaking.

    Coming Up

    Technical training at Universidad Juan Agustín Maza set the base for Sergio Pomar’s work in wine. Early posts as enólogo at Fin del Mundo in Patagonia, Argentina, and then as enólogo at Malma in Patagonia, Argentina, placed him in a cool-climate setting where patience and detail are part of the job. In 2017, he joined Bodegas Bianchi in San Rafael, Argentina as segundo enólogo, a role he held through 2026. That long stretch inside one estate gave him continuity and direct exposure to the pace of a major winery, where each vintage adds to the working record of the house. In 2026, he was appointed Chief Winemaker and viticulture at Bodegas Bianchi in San Rafael, Argentina, moving from second oenologist to the top combined cellar-and-vineyard role.

    Where They Are Now

    Chief Winemaker and Viticulture at Bodegas Bianchi is the present title for Sergio Pomar, and it matches a path that stayed within one winery while broadening from cellar work into vineyard oversight. The progression from segundo enólogo to that post shows a career built in sequence, with each role adding responsibility without breaking from the same house.

    In Their Words “I am Sergio Pomar, I am a winemaker, I have been at Bianchi since 2017, but I already have vintages under my belt.”
