Argentina

Tempus Alba

One of the more modern wineries in Mendoza, Tempus Alba combines technology with family-run pride, resulting in some delicious and affordable wines. One of the winery's main goals is to make the best Malbec in Argentina, a lofty goal where Malbec is one of the most popular varietals in Argentina. In search of the best Malbec grapes, the winery is testing and researching 370 vines to find ones that will produce a superior Malbec.

Old World and New World Wines

Hacienda del Plata

Perhaps one of the wineries in Mendoza that best encapsulates the gaucho image and lifestyle of Argentina is Hacienda del Plata.

Bodega La Azul

La Azul Winery

This enormously cute winery in Valley de Uco of Mendoza, Argentina, La Azul is one of the smallest production wineries we've visited. Perhaps their size allows the focus and attention needed to produce some incredible wines. Like many wineries in Mendoza, Azul is a relatively new winery in Argentina with its first wines produced in 2003.

Sottano

Bodega Sottano's story

On the same road where you'll find Séptima and Ruca Malén, relatively new winery Sottano is making some great wines and is opening its doors to winery tours. The winery is a shared project of the three Sottano brothers, natives of Mendoza with Italian heritage and a family history of bulk winemaking. The winery building was designed by the brothers with the goals of fitting into the desert landscape of Mendoza and on the inside, being able to see all aspects of the winery from one place: the cellars and barrels, the tanks, the vineyard, and, of course, the beautiful Andes mountains that provide the water runoff that makes grape-growing possible in Mendoza.

Mounier Torrontés

Winery: 
Price: 
13.00

One of my all-time favorite Torrontés, Mounier is the perfect wine to enjoy on a hot summer day. With rich aromas balanced by a dry smooth finish, it would be tough to find a more refreshing wine.

B Crux from O. Fournier

Winery: 
Price: 
30.00

One of my all-time favorite wines, O. Fournier's B. Crux doesn't disappoint. The wine is a blend, 60% Tempranillo, 20% Malbec, and 10% Merlot and Syrah.

Mil Vientos Torrontés

Price: 
14.00

I only wish Mil Vientos was more easily accessible in Denver. The wine is delicious: refreshing, light, aromatic, dry, with great balanced flavors.

Bodega Merced del Estero

This relatively small and new winery is located in San Juan in northwest Argentina. The winery currently makes Torrontés, Cabernet, Syrah, Syrah Rosé, and Malbec.
