Dror Nativ MW visits VSPT as part of the recognition for the Best Contemporary Issues paper

Tuesday April 15th, 2025    

As part of its ongoing partnership with the Institute of Masters of Wine (IMW), VSPT Wine Group had the honor of hosting Dror Nativ MW for an exclusive educational trip to its wine regions from April 2–9. The trip was offered by VSPT as a special recognition for the winner of the Best Contemporary Issues paper, a category within the IMW program.

Dror Nativ, a senior wine buyer at Marks & Spencer, toured Elqui, Maipo, Leyda, and Cachapoal Andes valleys, accompanied by VSPT’s winemaking teams, and immersed himself in the terroirs and innovations that shape the company’s winemaking philosophy.

This visit reflects the strong alignment between VSPT and the IMW, both of which are committed to promoting diversity, excellence, and knowledge across the global wine industry.

VSPT Wine Group became the first Latin American company to join the IMW as a Principal Supporter in 2023, alongside Austrian Wine, AXA Millésimes, Constellation Brands, and Champagne Bollinger.

The Institute of Masters of Wine, based in the UK, is an internationally respected organization of wine professionals. For nearly 70 years, its members—Masters of Wine (MWs)—have been at the forefront of expertise and leadership in the wine world.

Through this alliance, VSPT reinforces its commitment to excellence and contributes to strengthening the IMW’s presence and connections in Latin America.
