A rare opportunity in the heart of the Uco Valley: 17 hectares of own-rooted Malbec in full production, with a private groundwater well and the uncommon feature of being covered by two designations of origin — Los Chacayes and Los Árboles. Located in one of the region's most frost-resistant areas, the remaining 71 ha are available to expand the vineyard or develop other projects.
Location
The property is located in the Los Árboles district of Tunuyán, in the heart of the Uco Valley — one of Mendoza's most internationally acclaimed wine regions, surrounded by renowned wineries and estates. Elevation ranges between 1,150 and 1,170 meters above sea level, and the area shows notably higher frost resistance than the rest of the valley (approx. 3° warmer), a meaningful production advantage for viticulture.
Designation of Origin
The property has the uncommon feature of being simultaneously covered by two Geographic Indications of the Uco Valley: Los Chacayes and Los Árboles, both recognized for the quality and character of their wines. Dual designation broadens the commercial positioning options for the future wine and is an attribute very few properties in the area can offer.
