New from Argentina

Argentina’s cultural tradition is strongly linked to wine. The influence of the Latin civilization, mainly from Spain and Italy played a very important role in the country’s social, political and cultural development. This is how the Argentine national identity of love and cult for wine was born and developed.The exceptional climate conditions that exist in certain regions of Argentina allow the cultivation of vines in such a way that the grapes complete their vegetative cycle achieving perfect ripeness and exceptional qualities.The region of Mendoza - located at the foothill of the Andes range in the border with Chile - is, beyond any doubt, the most traditional and developed grape growing area, where the best and most prestigious wines are elaborated.

DON CRISTOBAL 1492 wines are originated in the vineyards that are located in our three estates: La Niña, La Pinta and La Santa María. They are close to Mendoza City, only two and a half hours away from the Aconcagua (7,000 m - 22,965 ft) - the highest and most emblematic peak of the continent - one hour and thirty minutes by plane from Buenos Aires, and only fifty-five minutes from Santiago, Chile. All three vineyards have altitudes between 600 and 1,000 m (1,970 and 3,280 ft) above sea level, thus having their own and particular characteristics.Since 1492, with the coming of the three ships, the new Latin American civilization contributed in many ways to the global civilization. Today, from Mendoza, Argentina, the new wines of the new world are coming, for the most sophisticated and demanding palates of the entire world.Cristobal 1492 Premium Range Chardonnay
