The Achaval-Ferrer Estate is a jewel of Argentine viticulture, located in the Lujan de Cuyo region, right in the heart of Mendoza Province. Founded in 1998 by a group of friends passionate about wine, this estate is now internationally recognized for its production of premium wines, particularly its specialty, Malbec. Nestled at the foot of the Andes mountain range, the estate spans about 50 hectares, offering a visually stunning spectacle. Thanks to its privileged location at 950 meters above sea level, the vineyard enjoys an optimal climate for wine growing: cool winters and warm summers, enhanced by the purity of the mountain air. One of the unique features of the Achaval-Ferrer Estate is its respectful approach to the vine. The emphasis is on sustainable viticulture practices, with minimal human intervention. The vineyards, some of which are centuries old, are grown without irrigation to encourage deep root development and thus fully express the character of each terroir. This respect for the vine is also reflected in the winemaking philosophy. Winemaking is done using only the indigenous yeasts present on grape skins, with no added sugar or acid. The goal is to directly convey what each plot has to offer, in terms of aromas and flavors. But what primarily makes Achaval-Ferrer's reputation is the exceptional quality of its Malbecs. Elegant and complex, these wines express all the richness of their Andean terroirs. Crus like Malbec Finca Altamira, with its explosive aromatic palette and its tannic structure, are clear proof of Achaval-Ferrer's expertise and have earned the estate recognition and respect from international critics.
