Mendoza, 2008 Wine Region of the Year
“Argentina is now the fifth largest wine producing country in the world as well as the fastest growing wine exporter”
Wine Enthusiast, December 15, 2008

In Argentina the wine regions are of continental climate, where the main influence comes from the Andes rather than the ocean. Irrigation by the numerous rivers that carry water from the Andes makes the region fertile and rich. Wines show an amazing fruit character when grown at a high altitude, as is the case in certain wine regions of Mendoza where our vineyards are located.

Our old vines and exceptional location are within the most presitigous appellations of Mendoza: Tupungato and La Consulta.

Miquel Salarich will lead the Freixenet vineyard and production operations in crafting some of the best wines Argentina has to offer.
