Vision of the Argentinian wine industry:

We have noticed a great explosion in the Argentinian viticulture with a big focus on international markets in the last 15 years. Lately, the most important has been the identity we have built with our unique Malbec and Torrontés, using these varietals as flagships grapes. I think we still have a lot of potential to keep making unique and high quality wines.
