Our wines
The Alfa Crux vineyard produces the most exclusive and high quality wines in Argentina. The portfolio consists of two extraordinary grape varieties. The Alfa Crux Malbec is made of 100% Malbec grapes that stand for a soft yet refined caracteristic flavor. The Malbec grape flourishes at its best in the dry, high, yet sunny climate of the Andes heights. The Alfa Crux Corte is a powerful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, and Tempranillo grapes and with its full bodiness it makes one think of a beautiful Bordeaux.
El Cepillo · 1,200 m above sea level
The brightest star in Mendoza, Argentina
At the foot of the Andes, in the high Uco Valley, the grapes ripen under intense mountain sun and chilly nights full of stars, slowly, concentrated, in the thin air of 1,200 metres.
In the estate's cellar, a skylight draws a cross of light across the rows of barrels. There the wines rest for 18 months in French oak and a further 12 months in bottle before they leave the winery.
