What are the wineries in the province of Buenos Aires

Until two decades ago, the possibility of producing wine in the province of Buenos Aires seemed strange. However, viticulture began to develop and there are already several enterprises that offer their products and receive visitors to show what the production process is like.

The first experiences They were carried out at the beginning of this century in the southwest of Buenos Aires and then, over the years, they spread to other areas.

According to Daniel Di Nucci from Al Este winery and vineyards, located in the city of Médanos, Villarino district, viticulture was prohibited in Buenos Aires lands from the 1930s until 1997, because they sought to protect the regional economies of Cuyo.

In the mid-90s that restriction was lifted and many they resumed activity. Today, there are numerous wineries throughout the entire province. Let’s see.

Located in Villarino, it produces different varietals: malbec, cabernet sauvignon, merlot and tannat, in the range of reds; chardonnay and sauvignon blanc, in that of whites.

Experimental plantings began in 2000 and in 2009, Chardonnay was recognized with a silver medal at the international Decanter World Wine Awards competition.

The wines from this winery are sold in Rosario (Santa Fe), Ushuaia (Tierra del Fuego), City of Buenos Aires and Bahía Blanca.

Matías Lucas, together with his siblings Valeria and Mariano, began this project in Tandil in 2008 when his oenology professor suggested that this territory could be a “friendly area” for viticulture.

Along this path, the “La Elena” vineyards were developed, and then in 2011, “Don Bosco”. Both are located 260 meters above sea level, in a climate of large thermal amplitudewind and distributed rain, that is why they implemented dry land work, that is, without irrigation.

The first vineyard produces Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Franc, while the second produces Syrah, Sauvignon Blanc and Carmenere.

Trapiche is recognized worldwide for the quality of its vines. Received international awards all types. It is present both in Maipú (Mendoza) and 6 kilometers from the sea with a winery located between the soft dunes of Chapadmalal.

There it offers a wide variety of activities to learn about the history of the place, tour the vineyards and participate in tastings.

Among the proposals, the picnic with a basket of cheeses and a bottle from the winery stands out.

The project dates back to 2011 with the implementation of the first stage of the vineyard in Uribelarrea, Canuelaswhich the following year was registered in the National Institute of Viticulture.

The two hectares are cultivated with syrah, merlot, sauvignon blanc, pinot noir and mainly tannat red grapes, which are best adapted to the region’s climate.

For wine production no additives are used; The traditional path inherited from the ancestors of harvesting, grinding the grapes and moving on to the fermentation process was chosen.

Berisso Coast wine production dates back to 1940. This project took shape again at the beginning of 2000 when its reactivation was promoted.

Four years later, the cooperative was formed, co-responsible for organizing the provincial Vino de la Costa festival, which takes place in July every year. In 2008 the construction of the wine production room was completed.

Most of the productions are familiar, on small surfaces and with a high diversity of crops. There are vines, but plum trees, figs, pears, osiers are also planted.

The first wines from the town of Saldungaray, in Sierra de la Ventana, They appeared in 2007. Today, the winery of the same name sells in wineries, online and in wine bars or restaurants.

There is a line of six young oak wines, which includes a white wine, a rosé, three varietal red wines, a blend and a sparkling wine made using the traditional method.

Also they grow fruit trees with those who make jams in the artisan sweet shop and has a line of moisturizing creams made with grape seed oil and wine extract, whose fragrances are related to those of their drinks.
