Argentine winemaker Lorena Mulet has specialised in sparkling wine since the beginning of her career and today is in charge of winemaking at Bodega Cruzat, one of the top sparkling wine producers in South America. Cruzat leads the premium market with an entirely traditional method production, including their icon wine Millésime which spends a decade on the lees. The vineyards are in the Uco Valley, including Vista Flores where their superb Single Vineyard Finca La Dama Blanc de Blanc comes from. We get to know more about Lorena in this interview.
What made you fall in love with wine?
I am really keen on the winemaking process and Mendoza has lots of opportunities when it comes to viticulture and winemaking. I like microbiology, the transformation that’s done by microorganisms in wine. I mean you can get wine out of grape juice and I’m seduced by that magic.
