The Viña Alicia estate is a magnificent vineyard located in the Argentine province of Mendoza, globally recognized for its production of quality wines. Established in 1996 by Alicia Mateu Arizu, the Viña Alicia estate spans nearly 30 hectares, including 16 plots dedicated to vineyard and ultra-modern winemaking facilities. Situated at an altitude of approximately 960 meters, the Viña Alicia estate enjoys an ideal microclimate for grape growing, with mild winters and hot, sunny summers. The unique topography of this terroir greatly influences the character of the wines, bringing finesse and complexity. The exceptional condition of the soils, mainly composed of sand, silt and clay, allows for an ideal drainage structure, promoting a progressively slow maturity of the grapes, leading to wines of incredible depth of flavor and complexity. The estate is a pioneer in the production of wines from indigenous grape varieties, notably Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon, but also produces formidable wines from other varieties such as Merlot, Petit Verdot and other less common varieties for the region, like Riesling and Nebbiolo. Each wine from the Viña Alicia estate bears the unique signature of winemaker Alicia Mateu Arizu. She ensures that each bottle faithfully reflects the pure expression of the terroir of Mendoza and the philosophical orientation of the house centered on respect for nature and artisanal winemaking. Their wines are often described as elegant and sophisticated, with a beautiful tannic structure and well-balanced acidity. In addition to exquisite wines, the Viña Alicia estate offers an unforgettable tourist experience.
