Discover the wineries and producers
San Pedro de Yacochuya is the winery of flying Bordeaux winemaker Michel Rolland and the Etchart family in Salta’s Cafayate valley. Making perfumed Torrontes and powerful Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec, the San Pedro de Yacochuya winery can be visited for a tour and tasting.
Whether you call it Casa Vigil, Casa El Enemigo or the El Enemigo winery, you can visit the home of winemaker Alejandro Vigil where a boutique winery, an award-winning restaurant and quirky cellar await. Here you can taste through the entire El Enemigo range. Vigil makes the El Enemigo wines (aka. Bodega Aleanna) with Adrianna Catena (of Catena Zapata) where he is also the winemaker.
Viña Cobos winery is the acclaimed wine producer belonging to international winemaker Paul Hobbs. Having worked in Argentina since 1988, Paul Hobbs became so convinced of the potential of Argentine Malbec that he started his own winery, Viña Cobos, in the heart of Mendoza’s Luján de Cuyo in 1999. Twenty years on and Viña Cobos is one of the most respected producers of single-vineyard Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay in Argentina. Focused on the Uco Valley and Luján de Cuyo, the Cobos wines are complex, concentrated, polished and increasingly vibrant. Young Head Winemaker Andrés Vignoni is proving to be one of the most accomplished winemakers of the new generation. Cobos is their top-of-line brand, Bramare is an exciting single-vineyard range, and Felino is their worthy entry-level range.
The story of Viña Cobos winery really started with the arrival of international winemaker Paul Hobbs in Mendoza in the late 1980s. Born in upstate New York to a farming family, Paul Hobbs started his career in winemaking after studying viticulture and enology at UC Davis in California in the 1970s. He soon rose to fame as a promising young winemaker while working at two eminent wineries in Napa: Opus One and Simi Winery.
