land of malbec white

Mendoza, sited on a high-altitude plateau at the edge of the Andes, is responsible 
for around 70% of Argentina’s wine production. Vines were first planted here by 
Jesuits in the mid-16th century, using techniques learned from the indigenous 
Huarpe people. Altitude is the key characteristic to this terroir. Wide diurnal 
temperature variation supports an extended growing season with warm harvest 
weather allowing grapes to be picked when perfectly ripe. These factors combined 
with well-drained alluvial soil and meltwater irrigation from the Andes result in 
the perfect growing conditions for the flagship Malbec grape.
Producer
Bodega Estancia Mendoza was founded in 1980 as a federation of wine producing 
co-operatives; currently, there are 32 members located in the key growing areas 
of Mendoza and their collaborative approach brings greater synergy in the grape 
growing and winemaking processes and in the ultimate marketing of their wines. 
The hot days and cool nights and bright spring and summer sunshine produce 
ideal conditions for the development of perfect grapes, and their ranges offer 
excellent quality and value in spades.

High trellis training system and traditional irrigation.
Vinification
Manual harvest & destemming before fermentation with selected yeasts at 
controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks.
