Casarena winery is one of the most-recognised single vineyard producers in Luján de Cuyo, with a focus on distinctive terroirs in the traditional cradle of Malbec. Another feather to their bow is their beautiful Casa Naoki guest house in the middle of their Naoki vineyard – a highlight of luxury wine tourism in Mendoza.
Within the Casarena range, you’ll find some precise and focused Malbec wines but also some of the region’s top Cabernet Sauvignon. Other highlights are the Cabernet Franc and Brut Nature bubbles. The Dartley family, who own Casarena, also have another line of wines made from Luján de Cuyo – their playful Mythic range, which often focuses on blends.
About Casarena and Casa Naoki
Casarena has made it their mission to put not only the quality wines of Luján on the map, but also enamour visitors with the region’s charms through their fine dining restaurant and luxurious wine lodge, Casa Naoki.
The winery is in the heart of Perdriel within the Jamilla vineyard, in a handsomely restored bodega constructed in 1937. Specialising in single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Malbec, among other varieties, the polished wines all come from their four Luján estates which are named after the grandchildren of the family — Naoki, Lauren, Owen and Jamilla.
In the Naoki vineyard in Agrelo you’ll find Casa Naoki, the Dartley family’s sumptuous guest house which can be exclusively hired for a memorable stay with a stunning Andean view and infinity pool that appears to drop off into the vineyard.
