Achaval-Ferrer Winery

star-519
The Achaval-Ferrer Winery traces its history back only to 1998, shortly after the beginning of the Malbec boom in Mendoza. The winery is Argentine and Italian owned, and the winemakers all have decades of experience extending back to far before this project began.The boutique winery has four different vineyards on which grapes are grown, representing four different terriors with flood irrigation that decreases the chances of phyloxera. In some cases, there are cherry or olive trees lining the vineyards. Grapes are harvested by hand, and in the early morning hours. In case of hail damage (which happens occasionally), damaged grapes are removed from the plants to keep bitterness at bay in the final product. These practices, as well as several others (such as low density of plants), keeps production low, but quality high.The Bella Vista Estate in Mendoza’s Luján de Cuyo is on the south bank of the Mendoza River, and this is where Achaval Ferer receives visitors for tastings and winery tours.More

These are brought to a 48,000 square foot winemaking facility for the de-stemming, crush and fermentation. Andeluna was started in 2003 under the tutelage of one Argentine and one American investor, H. Ward Lay, of the Lays potato chip fortune.The winery is located in Tupungato, Argentina, near Mendoza, and here they grow Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay and Cabernet Franc, all at altitude, in this case at up to 4300 feet above sea level. The winery features classic architecture with views of the Andes Mountains, over some of the area’s prime grape vines.

All about Mendoza

When to visit

Mendoza’s year-round sunshine makes it a four-season destination, but most people visit from October through April when the wine season is in full swing and wineries open their doors for tours and tastings. The grape harvest kicks off in February, and the first week of March is devoted to the National Harvest Festival (Vendimia), the city’s biggest event with parades, parties, and a fireworks finale. Prefer ski slopes to vineyards? Mendoza’s ski season runs July through September.

Getting around

Walking among the attractions is easy in Mendoza’s compact center, while taxis are an affordable option for short hops. You’ll need transport to explore the surrounding wine region, and the most scenic way to explore is by renting a bike and cycling through the vineyards. Alternatively, tour buses and group tours will whisk you on a wine-tasting tour of the Maipu Valley or Luján de Cuyo regions, eliminating the need for a designated driver.

Traveler tips

Vineyards and bodegas (as wineries are called here) aren’t the only fruits of the city’s harvest—Mendoza is also the epicenter of Argentina’s lesser-known olive oil industry. Head to Familia Zuccardi in the Maipu Valley, where you can tour the olive groves, sample the unique Arauco olives, and pick up a bottle or two to take home. Olive oil tastings are also on offer at the family-run Olivicola Maguay, along with a range of olive oil cosmetics.
