Description

This 100-year-old colonial style bodega is located in Coquimbito, one of Argentina's oldest viticultural zones. In addition to producing great Argentine wines, La Rural also houses a museum of antique tools and other objects that were used to make wine in Argentina during the nineteenth century. As a result, the winery's tour is like taking a trip back in time where you can appreciate the labor and sacrifice that went into wine production a century ago.

La RuralToday, the winery has a stainless steel tank capacity of ten million liters and uses modern equipment to ferment and preserve its fine red and white wines. Using grapes from its four Mendoza vineyards, La Rural is much more than an old-fashioned curiosity - this thriving bodega exports wines throughout the world and has helped promote increasing demand for Argentine wine among international consumers.
