Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009The Vines visits Bodega Trapiche
Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009Last Week we were invited to visit Tributo Winery, Trapiche’s newest project development in innovation,commitment and passion for the land.
“Trapiche `Tributo` was born to pay homage to each and every worker, harvester and winemaker who has been, and still is, a key player in the history of viticulture and winemaking in Argentina.
`Tributo` winery is a ten-hectare estate surrounded vineyards and olive trees exclusively dedicated to the brand`s icon wines: from the popular Broquel(US)/ Fond de Cave (AR) line to country`s premier Single Vineyard Malbecs, a project which started in 2005 and which main aim is to honor 20 grape growers that have worked and trusted Trapiche for more than a century. Three Single Vineyard Malbecs receive the name of its grape producers each year.
The vineyards planted in front of the winery, are managed under the biodynamic philosophy. The building, inspired by the Italian Renaissance, was once a model winery owned by the Cavagnaro family back in 1912. Sold
by the founders, it was soon abandoned in 1970. It was, however, only in 2006 that Trapiche acquired the historical building, aiming to rescue the spirit of its creation by restoring its original structure, recycling its interiors and monumental façade, as well as incorporating the latest state-of-the-art technology and equipment for the production of its high-end wines.

Winemaker’s Night with Domain St. Diego
Monday, May 11th, 2009
Winter is showing in Mendoza and our editions of Winemaker’s night have come to an end until September, when we will be able to enjoy beautiful warm evenings in our patio again.
A memorable Winery put an end to the first edition of Winemaker’s Night 2009: Domaine St. Diego.
Domain St. Diego is one of the most picturesque wineries in Lulunta, Maipu. A winery with a lot of charm and personality. Ángel Mendoza, the owner and oenologist, is a local wine celebrity. Angel and his family have focused their attention on small harvests from only their best vines in order to produce a limited production of quality wines.
I would love to share with you a small conversation I had with him.

The Vines of Mendoza | Winemaker Night | Antucura
Friday, April 24th, 2009
Antucura means in the ancient language of the Pehuenches -the first inhabitants of the area-, ¨Stone of the Sun¨. Mariela Ilardo,Commercial Manager, explains they chose this name for their winery and lodge at Vista Flores because the vineyards that give the birth to their beloved wines grow here naturally, among stones and rocks.
We tasted 4 wines:
Tabanera Pinot Noir 2007 - A Pinot Noir with character. Very different from the burgundy style but really well
made. Really woth tating!
Barrandica 2006 – A wine made out of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and a touch of malbec. A wine that cries for food. Great to pair with beef!
Calvulcura 2005 – Same blend as the previous wine, but with a longer oak aging. A really deep wine, peppery character. It has a unique style! If you like big wines, don’t miss this one.
Antucura 2004 – Their Icone wine is made out of Merlot and cabernet Sauvignon.Different from most Argentinian wines, since it doesn’t have malbec grape in it… Yet they have been able to create a wine with a lot of character. It is a wine that has a great aging potencial.
The Vines of Mendoza | Winemaker Nights | Monte Cinco | Episode 1
Thursday, April 16th, 2009Interview with Arturo Bertona Monte Cinco’s owner and Marcos Masa Monte Cinco’s winemaker.
WINEMAKER’S NIGHT: MONTE CINCO
As every Wednesday, not only we had the opportunity to learn about the Argentine wine industry, but also we tasted amazing wines, being among them the Best World Malbec 2008.
Arturo Bertona, owner of this small winery, is very proud of having had the chance to continue his grandfather legacy; growing and making great wine! Despite the long history of being vine growers, it was in 2002 that Arturo decided to start with his own line of wines called Monte Cinco.
