Back in 2002, our goal was to create distinguished wines on alluvial soils, at a marked altitude, in a climate with wide temperature range and magnificent solar intensity. We found exceptional plots in Gualtallary, Uco Valley, which were at that time part of a desolate landscape without any international investments.
Today Gualtallary is in the spotlight in the eyes of the most acclaimed international critics. Our grapes continue to grow at the foot of the mountains, framed by the imposing scenery of the Andes, to finally become unforgettable wines.
OUR VISION
WINEMAKER
Our Winemaking Director is José Hernández Toso. He comes from a family with a long wine-making tradition: his great-grandfather, Pascual Toso, was one of the Italian pioneers who founded the winemaking industry in Argentina.
José’s first Vendimia was at age 17 in the old family winery, Toso. He graduated in Viticulture and Oenology from the Weinsberg Institute in Germany, furthered his studies at the Scuola del Vino in Italy, and has two decades of top-tier experience as head winemaker in high-ranking wineries.
In Argentina, José was head winemaker at Bodega Luigi Bosca. In Europe, he worked at J. Hofstaetter Winery in Alto Adige, Italy; at Graf Adelmann Winery in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, and he was also Associate Researcher at the Weinsberg Wine Institute. In 2004, he was given the Winemaker of the Year award in Argentina for his work at Luigi Bosca.
“Each harvest is unique and an exciting challenge for the whole team. Creating wine is a lifelong undertaking.”
