The last region is Buenos Aires, a new region that has been developed in the last years.

Southern Region


The vineyards are located on the Patagonian rivers Limay, Neuquén, Negro and Colorado. The southernmost is located in the town of Epuyén in the province of Chubut.

Buenos Aires Region


The varietals made in this region are: Malbec, Tannat, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
The wine region in Buenos Aires is located in Medanos, southeast of Buenos Aires province and east of the traditional wine regions of Argentina, a region that has recently begun to develop high quality wines. Located at 39 degrees south latitude, Medanos is one of the vine production sites with more time of solar exposure in the southern hemisphere. This feature makes the process of photosynthesis larger, resulting in higher production of polyphenols and sugars, which, coupled with the thick skin that results from a windy spring produces wines of intense color, fresh, elegant, complex and large aromatic characteristics.
