Uco Valley
The Uco Valley is one of the most prestigious valleys in Argentina, located in the district of Eugenio Bustos, named after our founder, about 110 km south of the city of Mendoza and at the foot of the imposing Andes Mountains.
Its different altitudes, soils, microclimates and thermal amplitude provide a unique ecosystem in the world for the production of high quality wines.

Our waters and its minerals come from the Tunuyán River that flows 102km from the Nevado Piuquenes at 6,120 m.a.s.l. and from the Marmolejo Hill at 5,759 m.a.s.l.
These waters are then irrigated in our vineyards by drip irrigation in 100% of the estate. In this way we collaborate with environmental sustainability by avoiding unnecessary water losses.
