Weon Carignan 2016 WEON CARIGNAN 2016 Aupa is a wine produced by Vina Maitia, a small family project owned and operated by David Marcel of French/ Basque origin alongside his wife, Loreto Garau in Loncomilla, Maule, within a valley which benefits from a sub-humid Mediterranean climate where high temperatures in the summer are cooled by the breeze from the Humboldt current in the Pacific Ocean. This 10 hectare, 120 year-old, dry farmed, single vineyard is worked without intervention, with a sustainable approach of viticulture. Pipeño is the traditional method of winemaking in Chile, which began in the late sixteenth century. Pais, a.k.a. Mission/Listan Negro/ Criolla Grande, is a sacramental grape, traced back to the Canary Islands; the first grape planted in the Americas.

  • FABRE MONTMAYOU MENDOZA , a RGENTINA Hervé Joyaux Fabre, Owner and Director of Fabre Montmayou, Was Born in Bordeaux, France, to a Family of Wine Negociants
    FABRE MONTMAYOU MENDOZA , A RGENTINA Hervé Joyaux Fabre, owner and director of Fabre Montmayou, was born in Bordeaux, France, to a family of wine negociants. When he arrived in Argentina in the early 90’s looking for opportunities to invest in vineyards and start a winery, he was impressed by the potential for Malbec in Mendoza. As a true visionary, he bought very old Malbec vineyards, planted in 1908, and built the Fabre Montmayou winery in the purest Château style from Bordeaux. The winery was built in Vistalba – Lujan de Cuyo, 18 Km North of Mendoza city at 3800 feet elevation (1,150 meters of altitude), and is surrounded by the first 37 acres of Malbec vineyards that the company bought. For the Fabre Montmayou line of wines, the owners decided to buy exclusively old-vine vineyards in the best wine growing areas of Mendoza. With constant care and personal style – essential elements for great quality – Fabre Montmayou combines modern winemaking, Mendoza’s terroir and the Bordeaux “savoir faire” to produce wines of unique personality. MENDOZA, ARGENTINA Mendoza Province is one of Argentina's most important wine regions, accounting for nearly two-thirds of the country's entire wine production. Located in the eastern foothills of the Andes, in the shadow of Mount Aconcagua, vineyards are planted at some of the highest altitudes in the world, with the average site located 600–1,100 metres (2,000–3,600 ft) above sea level. The principal wine producing areas fall into two main departments Maipúand Luján, which includes Argentina's first delineated appellation established in 1993 in Luján de Cuyo.

  • Reviving Criolla

  • Modeling Grape Price Dynamics in Mendoza: Lessons for Policymakers
    Journal of Wine Economics, Volume 14, Number 4, 2019, Pages 343–355 doi:10.1017/jwe.2019.29 Modeling Grape Price Dynamics in Mendoza: Lessons for Policymakers German Puga a, James Fogarty b, Atakelty Hailu c and Alejandro Gennari d Abstract Mendoza is the main wine-producing province of Argentina, and the government is currently implementing a range of policies that seek to improve grape grower profitability, including a vineyard replanting program. This study uses a dataset of all grape sales recorded in Mendoza from 2007 to 2018, totaling 90,910 observations, to investigate the determinants of grape prices. Key findings include: smaller volume transactions receive lower-average prices per kilo- gram sold; the discount for cash payments is higher in less-profitable regions; and the effect of wine stock levels on prices is substantial for all varieties. Long-run predicted prices are also estimated for each variety, and region; and these results suggest that policymakers should review some of the varieties currently used in the vineyard replanting program. (JEL Classifications: Q12, Q13, Q18) Keywords: autoregressive distributed lag, grape price, hedonic price, Mendoza. I. Introduction Accounting for 71% of total Argentinean grape production, Mendoza is the main wine province of Argentina.

  • Argentina's Booming Vineyards
    May 16, 2009 THE NEW CONQUISTADORS: ARGENTINA'S BOOMING VINEYARDS For most, the dream remains just that, but for some, it is becoming an increasingly affordable reality, not in Europe, where land in the prestigious wine-producing regions remains expensive, but 7,000 miles away in Argentina. Foreign investors are queueing up for a share of Argentina's booming vineyards. By Gideon Long How many people, at some point, have idly dreamt of owning a vineyard and producing their own wine? Somewhere in Tuscany or La Rioja perhaps, somewhere sun-kissed and picturesque. For most, the dream remains just that, but for some, it is becoming an increasingly affordable reality, not in Europe, where land in the prestigious wine-producing regions remains expensive, but 7,000 miles away in Argentina. Mendoza, in the far west of the country, where the flat expanse of the pampas rises abruptly into the Andes, has long been the centre of the Argentine wine industry. Until recently, it produced cheap plonk for local consumption, but it is fast emerging as a major wine region to rival the best that Europe can offer. Its signature malbecs are finding their way to the world's finest restaurant tables and, in Mendoza itself, boutique vineyards and designer tasting-rooms are all the rage. Foreigners are buying into the boom. An acre of land here costs a fraction of the price you would pay in the Loire Valley or around Bordeaux, and there's plenty of it. Nigel Cooper is a Briton who recently bought 10 acres in the Uco Valley, a sublimely beautiful area some 40 miles south of Mendoza city.

  • 20 Criolla Torrontes Bonarda
    CRIOLLA FAMILY CRIOLLA TORRONTÉS BONARDA CRIOLLA FAMILY Criolla is a significant native group of vines found naturally in Argentina. First wine making took place in 1551, since then, Criolla has been crossed. Today there is a trend in patrimonial wines and Criolla is on the rise. Argentina has several native grapes. The most famous is Torrontés Riojano. In 2008 Instituto Nacional de Tecnología Agropecuaria (INTA) started a DNA study for better understanding of the Criolla family. 18 Criolla grapes have been identified as unique grapes from Argentina. ¿What should a Criolla wine taste like? CRIOLLA MAP Criolla Map It shows the link between Criollas, whenever they are relatives. CRIOLLA EVOLUTION Due to the lack of profit between 1980 and 2010, Criolla Grande (one of the most planted) had its surface dramatically decreased (10.000 hectares), while Cereza dropped just 10%. While Grande presently covers 14,6 thousand hectares (96% planted in Mendoza Eastern Oasis), Criolla Chica (Listan Prieto) only covers 363.

Prieto, email [email protected] Abstract Background and Aims: Based on 19 nuclear simple sequence repeat markers and parental analysis, we aimed to identify and propose the pedigree of different accessions held at the Estación Experimental Agropecuaria Mendoza of the Instituto Nacional de Tecnología Agropecuaria germplasm collection. The results were compared with data recorded in large, international databases. Methods and Results: We identified 37 different cultivars, of which 18 were original and not previously identified. The parentage analysis showed that European cultivars, such as Muscat of Alexandria, Muscat à Petits Grains, Listán Prieto, Mollar Cano and Malbec, were involved in natural crossings resulting in different South American cultivars. Conclusions: Many of the cultivars identified here represent unique individuals based on their genotype. The number of cultivars that participated as progenitors in the origin of South American germplasm is higher than previously thought. Significance of the Study: Germplasm collections planted many years ago play a key role in the conservation and characterisation of genotypes that otherwise may have been lost.
