LOS CARACOLES MENDOZA, ARGENTINA
The Los Caracoles project is a creative partnership between Coeur Wine Co. and a visionary organic grower, born from a desire to move away from the heavy oak and high extraction found in many commercial examples. The estate’s history is defined by a commitment to pioneering sustainability, having transitioned to fully certified organic farming over a decade ago. Named after the winding, “snail-like” mountain roads of the Andes, the project focuses on protecting the local landscape through biodynamic practices and the preservation of over 150 native plant species. By prioritizing the raw fruit and mineral character of the Uco Valley, the estate aims to produce a style that is inherently energetic and, as the founders describe it, “dangerously drinkable.”
