Compañía Pisquera de Chile represents one of the most fascinating spirits in South America: Pisco – distilled from aromatic grapes that ripen in the dry valleys of northern Chile under the intense Andean sun.

What makes this distiller so special? A deep connection to Chilean tradition, combined with the ambition to make Pisco accessible beyond its homeland. The spirits impress with their fruity vibrancy, subtle spice, and a long, smooth finish – whether enjoyed neat or as the heart of a classic Pisco Sour.

About Compañía Pisquera de Chile

From the cooperative in the Elqui Valley to Chile's largest Pisco house

The roots of the Compañía Pisquera de Chile lie in the north of Chile. There, grape farmers and distillery workers founded the Cooperativa Control Pisquero in 1933, the oldest Pisco cooperative in the country. It was created during the Great Depression, when small family businesses could hardly survive, and marketed its Pisco under the name Pisco Control. Two years earlier, Chile had passed a law stating that only distillates from five valleys in the Atacama and Coquimbo regions could be called Pisco.

In March 2005, the cooperative joined forces with the beverage group CCU. This alliance resulted in the Compañía Pisquera de Chile S.A. Today, it is majority-owned by CCU. The cooperative remains involved and supplies grapes as a producer under a supply contract. According to CCU, the market share in the Chilean Pisco market rose from 40% in 2005 to 53% in 2015. In addition to Control, brands such as Mistral, Campanario, La Serena and Ruta Norte belong to the house.

Muscat grapes, copper stills and the sun of the north

The basis of every Chilean Pisco is wine. It is fermented from Muscat varieties, Torontel and Pedro Jiménez, which only grow in the valleys of Atacama and Coquimbo. Distillation takes place in copper stills. The grapes come largely from small farmers in the Elqui, Limarí, Choapa and Huasco valleys.

For Pisco Control, they come from the Limarí Valley, which lies between the Andes and the Pacific. The climate is warm and dry, the soils are light and stony. The wine is triple-distilled in copper. One distillation process takes about ten hours and is carried out discontinuously according to Chilean law. The house avoids wood storage so that the grape remains the focus.

Pisco Control: clear, creamy and built on Muscat

The Pisco Control with 43% vol is the house classic and comes directly from the cooperative tradition. In the glass, it is clear. The nose is fresh and herbal, with citrus and peach. On the palate, it is round and creamy, with hints of vanilla and white flowers. The finish is long and clean.

You can drink it neat or on ice. It is also suitable as a base for a classic Pisco Sour, because its Muscat profile carries lime and egg white without being overwhelmed.

Compañía Pisquera de Chile —
Pisco tradition from Northern Chile

Compañía Pisquera de Chile is one of the defining names in the Chilean Pisco industry. Founded in 2005 as a joint venture, the company combines industrial reach with artisanal depth: the grapes grow in the Elqui Valley in Northern Chile, where dry climate, intense Andean sun, and barren soils ensure extraordinary aroma concentration.

Distillation is carried out from aromatic varieties such as Moscatel rosado, Moscatel de Austria, and Pedro Jiménez — all double-distilled to preserve fruitiness and spice. The Tres Erres brand stands for a tradition that dates back to 1928 and embodies the Elqui Valley as the origin of Chilean Pisco.

In the glass, ripe citrus fruit, a hint of white flowers, and a soft, slightly spicy length appear. Neat over ice, as the base of a classic Pisco Sour, or in a Chilcano with ginger beer — the brandies from the Elqui Valley fit into many glasses without losing their character.

You can now find the right wine faster. Above the wines in every category there is one row that brings it all together: Our picks, Occasion, Goes with, Wine style, Filters and Sort by.

Row above the wines with Filters, Our picks, Goes with, Wine style, Bought before and Sort by; the "Our picks" button is open with "Super Tuscan" selected, next to it Tignanello, Le Volte and Le Serre Nuove

  • Our picks. The "Our picks" button comes first. Choose "Great value" to see wines that deliver more than their price suggests. Some of them have been recognised by Falstaff and other critics for exactly that, the others we have picked for you.
  • Super Tuscans. On the Tuscany page, "Our picks" also takes you to the red cult wines that deliberately broke with the old appellation rules: Tignanello, Ornellaia, Sassicaia, Le Volte, Guado al Tasso and many more, from the first step up to large formats.
  • One tap, one choice. Tap "Occasion", "Goes with" or "Wine style" and pick what you are looking for, such as "Aperitif & spritz" or "Fish". The button then shows what is currently selected.
  • Everything at a glance. Whatever you have selected appears right below. Tap the cross to remove it, or "Clear all" to remove everything at once.
  • Always at hand on your phone. The row stays at the top while you scroll, so you can change filters and sorting without scrolling back up.
  • Bought before. When you are logged in, the "Bought before" switch shows which wines in the category you have already bought from us, online or in the shop. Handy when you want to find a favourite again.
