Pulenta Estate
With cool, minimalist architecture and stylish wines, Pulenta Estate is a class operation in Mendoza. The Pulenta family have a long history of winemaking in Argentina, and although the brothers who own it don’t do the day-to-day winemaking, their wines are in good hands with a team of winemakers.
While the winery is renowned for their Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio and Malbec, Pulenta Estate also has another trump card up their sleeve – Cabernet Franc. They were one of the first wineries to focus on the variety which is now one of the most fashionable in Mendoza.
Visiting the winery usually starts with a glass of wine as you walk in the door, and then it is out to the vineyards and an uninterrupted view of Tupungato volcano. Moving through the winery you will visit the different areas of winemaking as well as some of the car memorabilia of the owners who are Porsche dealers in Argentina.
