The wineries, producers and micro regions of Argentina’s Uco Valley
Bemberg Estate Wines is the luxury winery and portfolio of the Bemberg family in Argentina, focused on single terroir wines from around their best estates in Argentina. The winery is in Gualtallary in the Uco Valley.
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.
