Bodega Monteviejo Festivo Malbec [2021] 750ml/Red

With Argentine terroir and Bordeaux know-how
A winery that takes on the challenge of making the ultimate wine

Bodega Monteviejo is the largest winery in South America, located in the Vista Flores area, about 60 km from Mendoza, Argentina, at an altitude of 1,500 meters in Tunuyan. The owner is Catherine Perret-Verger, who also owns Château Le Guay and Château Monvielle in Pomerol.

Clear air, water, and mountains.
Ideal climate with hot, dry summers and cold winters

In order to take on the challenge of making wine in this wonderful land at the foot of the Andes, Catherine and her friend, winemaking consultant Michel Rolland, who believed in the potential of Argentine wine, began searching for land. In 1997, he acquired 300 hectares of land, mainly in very good plots with old trees, established Bodega Monteviejo, and began producing world-class quality wine.

The vineyards we own are located at a high altitude with an average altitude of 1,300m, and the temperature is over 30℃ during the day, but it cools down to 7.8℃ at night, so the grapes not only ripen well but also have sufficient acidity. The grapes are grown using natural farming methods that do not use any chemicals, and are hand-harvested and carefully sorted. Brewing takes place in a bodega boasting state-of-the-art equipment, five floors above ground and five below. Inside the bodega, grapes are not transported using pumps; they are moved by gravity, starting from the highest point, and great care is taken to avoid damaging the fruit.

The winery is centered around Michel Rolland, with the best staff including Argentinian winemaker Marcelo Pererich, aiming to create the ultimate wine that maximizes the potential of this wonderful terroir. While working on producing premium wine, he also participated in the major project “Cross de los Siete” (Seven Vineyards), which was launched mainly by Michel Rolland, and is now one of Argentina's top wineries. As one of them, it is highly acclaimed both domestically and internationally.

Pere Verger - motto: "Know-how and tradition"

The family of the owner, Catherine Perret-Verger, is a prestigious family that owns Arc, a manufacturer of crystal products that has become world-famous under the ``Crystal d'Arc'' brand. As the heir to this large company with 30,000 employees, Catherine has been instrumental in its success. On the other hand, we started making wine in the 1980s, and based on our abundant funds, we invested one after another in chateaus with exceptional terroir. Currently, he has retired from ALC and is concentrating on making wine at Perret-Verger.

Our motto is "Know-how and Tradition." While incorporating the know-how of world-class specialists at each stage of winemaking, we always respect tradition and carry out careful work in all aspects. The terroir (fields), the people, the equipment...we devote our unsparing efforts to the pursuit of wine of perfect quality. We produce world-class wines with the keywords of "quality and elegance".

A wine from the casual range of Bodega Monteviejo, supervised by Michel Rolland. A light, easy-to-enjoy flavor with rich fruit flavors.
