The Grup Peralada

What The Grup Peralada does

Grup Peralada is a privately-held Spanish family business group (legal entity INVERAMA, S.L., headquartered in Barcelona) with roots tracing to 1904 (founding of Hispano Suiza by Damià Mateu) and 1923 (acquisition of Peralada Castle and founding of the winery by Miquel Mateu i Pla). The group is controlled by the Suqué Mateu family and employs 1,001-5,000 people across five sectors: wine and cavas, casinos, automotive, hospitality, and culture. Operating geographies include Spain (Catalonia, Navarra, Rioja, Priorat, Empordà), Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile, with a multi-language corporate website (ES, CA, EN, FR).

Core products include: (1) wines and cavas under the Perelada & Chivite umbrella spanning seven Spanish denominations of origin (Empordà, Cava, Navarra, Priorat, Rioja, Ronda, Ribera del Duero), backed by 450+ hectares of owned vineyards, 320+ hectares of controlled production, and distribution of 130+ national and international brands; (2) physical casinos in Spain (Casino Barcelona, Casino Perelada inside the castle, Casino Tarragona, Casino Lloret de Mar), Argentina (Santa Fe, Melincué), Uruguay (Rivera, Salto), and Chile (Ovalle), plus the CasinoBarcelona.es online gaming platform launched in 2012; (3) Hispano Suiza's 100% electric hypercars (Carmen limited to 19 units, Carmen Boulogne, Carmen Sagrera with a new 103kW battery) designed and manufactured in Barcelona with in-house battery technology; and (4) cultural and hospitality assets including Hotel Perelada (5-star, MICHELIN Key), the Michelin-starred Castell Perelada Restaurant, Golf Club Perelada, Wine Spa, Festival Perelada (since 1987), Museu Castell Perelada, and the Carmen Mateu Young Artist Award. Notable technical components include the new LEED Gold-certified winery designed by Pritzker Prize-winning RCR Arquitectes, satellite weather forecasting for vineyards since 2010, drip irrigation with reclaimed water since 1997, and ISO 20121-certified event management at Festival Perelada.

The business model is a hybrid of consumer-facing revenue streams: transaction-based (casino gaming stakes, hypercar sales, wine retail, event tickets), recurring/operational (hotel room revenue, restaurant dining, golf, wine spa), and wholesale distribution (130+ wine brands through resellers). Go-to-market is sales-led, leveraging direct physical venues, direct digital platforms (CasinoBarcelona.es, corporate website), brand licensing (Hispano Suiza), and multi-tier wine distribution. The 2017 acquisition of the Chivite Group transformed the wine division into one of Spain's larger multi-D.O. wine operators, and the 2019 relaunch of Hispano Suiza repositioned the group into the ultra-luxury electric hypercar segment.
