About us
From the very beginning, the respect for nature has been emphasized. The winery's surroundings have remained intact with their natural flora, including the indigenous bush atamisque, chañar, piquillo, cactus and many other varieties. Besides, the catalpa tree that grows in the estate gave origin to the name of the Premium wines line.
The 70-hectare vineyards largely supply the needed amount of quality grapes. Bodega Atamisque only buys some Malbec grapes coming from 80-year-old vineyards and some Cabernet Sauvignon grapes coming from other ancient vineyards. The production focuses on Premium wines, using first-quality French oak (Taransaud, Demptos) and reaching impressive fruity wines with long aftertaste and not so high alcohol content.
