Paul Hobbs, founding partner and winemaker at ViƱa Cobos, has worked since 1988 in the exploration of the different terroirs of Mendoza, looking for the most distinguished regions in LujƔn de Cuyo and the Valle de Uco, to produce wines that uniquely express their origins. Sustainable farming methods in the vineyard contribute to consistent yields of healthy fruit. In the winery, careful treatment of the grapes and meticulous winemaking techniques result in complex and elegant wines of subtlety and balance.

With the inaugural vintage of Cobos Malbec in 1999, ViƱa Cobos marked a milestone in viticulture, defying existing standards and firmly positioned Malbec and Argentina on the international wine scene. ViƱa Cobos wines are recognized for their elegance, potential and balance, the result of a meticulous care of the vineyards, where artisan work and respect for terroir are fundamental.”][/trx_section][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_text_separator title=”felino” color=”chino”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_hoverbox image=”1737″ primary_title=”” hover_title=”cab sauv 2019″ shape=”square” hover_background_color=”chino”]14% ABV

Forthright and agile, the Felino range shows off the authenticity and purity of the varietals the wines are made from.

The 2019 harvest was marked by two decisive factors: the great thermal amplitude and the low rainfall. The first allowed to reach an optimum concentration of the grape, fineness in the grain of the tannins, good acidity, and moderate alcohols. On the other hand, the second guaranteed ideal health conditions throughout the harvest period. This combination made it possible to obtain bunches of excellent quality.

Made from grapes hand-harvested in April, the deep ruby red wine offers aromas of forest fruits complemented by spicy notes with round, concentrated flavours on the palate supported by firm tannins that indicate maturity and balance.[/vc_hoverbox][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_hoverbox image=”1740″ primary_title=”” hover_title=”malbec 2020″ shape=”square” hover_background_color=”chino”]14% ABV

Sourced from premier vineyards in LujƔn de Cuyo and Valle de Uco, the Bramare range of wines captures the characteristics of the two most prestigious growing regions in Mendoza.

Valle de Uco valley boasts magnificent scenery and a privileged location at the foot of the Andes Mountains. Irrigated by TunuyƔn River and other mountain tributaries flowing through the region, this area is a true oasis of production. This region is characterized by poor, yet free-draining, stony and alluvial soils. Drip irrigation is used, and with the high permeability of the soil, this system helps control vineyard growth during vegetative development and grape maturation.

Through gravity flow, the fruit is handled in a gentle way so as not to damage the pips, and to later achieve an optimal fermentation. The resulting wines have excellent fruit expression, balanced by a subtle influence of oak that comes from meticulous selection of French and American oak barrels.Ā To maintain complexity and promote texture and finish, none of the wines are clarified. TheĀ production style of minimal intervention allows us to more closely monitor work in the vineyard to ensure that the wines are authentic expressions of our vineyards and terroir.

The Valle de Uco Malbec has an intense violet-red color with an attractive nose with aromas of violet, rose petals, and blue fruits. Fresh on the palate with structured tannins that evolve into a lasting finish.[/vc_hoverbox][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_hoverbox image=”1749″ primary_title=”” hover_title=”LUJƁN DE CUYO” shape=”square” hover_background_color=”chino”]15% ABV

Bramare is an Italian word that means “to yearn” and this range is the first step into terroir exploration, aiming to showcase the personality of incredible Argentinian micro-sites in each bottle.

LujƔn de Cuyo is historically known as the premier wine-growing region in Mendoza. Its high elevation location in combination with a semi-desert climate and low-nutrient, gravelly soils provide ideal conditions for cultivation of quality fruit. The Mendoza River, one of the main sources of water for irrigation of the region, lends identity to the area, influencing the soils and delineating the areas of production.
