BODEGAS WEINERT MENDOZA, ARGENTINA
Founded in 1975, Bodega y Cavas de Weinert is located in Argentina ́s cradle for top quality wines and boasts a beautiful original 1890 building of Spanish colonial architecture that captures the interest of visitors. Founder and owner Don Bernardo C. Weinert was born in a small German colony in Southern Brazil. Fascinated by the world of wine, he decided to found his own winery in Argentina with one unconditional approach: producing high quality wines. He made an extensive study about Mendoza: its climate, soil & grapes and came to the conclusion that Lujan de Cuyo was the perfect place for his project. After thorough restoration work of the building acquired in 1975, he brought in the latest technology in vinification of that time and was joined by acclaimed oenologists. In 1977 he produced Weinert Malbec Estrella1977, a wine praised by the world’s most prestigious tasters.
