Alamos

Alamos is an esteemed Argentine reality known above all for the production of wines from Malbec grapes, a red grape variety brought to Mendoza in 1852 by the French winemaker Pouget who has shown extraordinary adaptability in this territory. They are wines that come from young vineyards located at high altitudes, in the regions of Luján de Cuyo and Valle de Uco, at altitudes between 3,000 and 5,000 meters above sea level. The climate here is of the mountain type, with cool nights that guarantee the development of a natural acidity in the wines obtained and a favorable sun exposure that concentrates aromas and flavors. The winds of the Andean mountain landscape are shielded by rows of poplars - in Spanish álamos - that line the vineyards, hence the name of the winery.
