Grape Varieties
We are well known for producing a large number of grape varieties including Syrah, Malbec, Torrontés Riojano, Cabernet Sauvignon, Bonarda, Barbera, Merlot, Tempranillo, Chardonnay, Aspirant Bouchet, Sauvignon Blanc, Moscatel de Alejandria, Pinot Gris and Pedro Jimenez. Our most widely planted grape varieties include Torrontés Riojano, Syrah and Malbec, with Torrontés Riojano accounting for approximately 40% of the total grapes grown.
We are currently Argentina's largest producer of Torrontés, the country's signature white grape variety, producing approximately 20 million litres of Torrontés Riojano, in nine different styles, ranging from dry to sweet, sparkling and even grappa. Our Torrontés is particularly well suited to the climate of La Rioja province, producing attractive wines with an almost exotic personality and highly popular due to their distinctive, fresh, fruity aromatic and friendly character which work well as an aperitif or paired with food.
