About us

Viñas Don Martín S.A. is a wine company owned by a well-known family of Swiss origin. Its devotion to wine and desire to develop and consolidate a prestigious company led this family to bring their ideals to Alto Agrelo, Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza and become committed to a project of international stature. In 1994, the family acquired 60 hectares of vineyards in this privileged area at 1,000 meters above sea level, where only high quality vines were planted.

The winery's aim is to make the best wines from estate-grown grapes, for an increasingly competitive and demanding global market. Under this philosophy, the winery introduces its top quality "Finca Altorfer" line. The grapes produced from the 2007 harvest to date have yielded selected wine lots of Malbec, Rosé Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, as well as a Malbec-Cabernet Sauvignon blend. A percentage of these wines have been aged in French oak barrels in order to achieve the right aromatic balance and a perfect harmony between oakiness and fruitiness.

Viñas Don Martín produces only small lots in order to obtain outstanding quality standards
