Domaine Bousquet is one of the leading organic wine producers in Argentina, with French roots and a modern New World vision. The Bousquet family originally came from the city of Carcassonne, in the south of France, as the fourth generation of winemakers. In an effort to produce high-quality wines in the New World, the family focused on looking for the ideal place that would help continue their long-standing tradition and farm organically. Their mission took them to Mendoza in 1990, and specifically to the Gualtallary region of the Uco Valley – which at the time was relatively unknown.
In 1997, they acquired 110 ha of virgin land and started planting their vineyard and also built a state-of-the-art winery overlooking the vines and Andes mountains in the distance. The estate vineyard has an altitude of 1,200 m.a.s.l, benefiting from a constant cool breeze and a wide temperature range with the cooling mountain temperatures. 2002 was the year of Domaine Bousquet’s first vintage, and since then it has grown to become a leader in Argentina for organic wine managing over 1,200 hectares of vines in total.
Blanchard y Lurton is the winery and brand by famed Bordeaux winemaker François Lurton and Argentine vigneron Andrés Blanchard, making a neat portfolio of wines from the Uco Valley.

Bodega Los Haroldos and Falasco Wines is a winery and two brands based in San Martín in Mendoza although sourcing grapes from around Mendoza. The diverse portfolio includes still and sparkling wines ranging from the popular everyday Nampe line to their top pour, the Hermandad range, which celebrates their family history spanning four generations.
Finca Ambrosia was established in 2002 in Gualtallary in the Uco Valley, Mendoza, with an estate of 65 hectares of vineyards cultivated in small parcels. Finca Ambrosia wines are all made from their estate at 1250 m.a.s.l. with soils based on limestone over quaternary gravels.
