VALLE DE LA PUERTA
Winery
The Valle de la Puerta Vineyard was established in 1994, and now has 150 hectares under vine. Located in the Famatina Valley approximately 754 miles North West from Buenos Aires by road, the property sits between the Famatina and Velasco Mountain ranges, which branch off the Andes. This unique valley offers a magnificent visual backdrop and provides well-drained topsoil. A special microclimate, with hot and dry summer days and cool nights, combines with the clean air and desert-like topography of the valley to ensure outstanding ripening conditions for grapes. Rain is scarce with only 4 to 8 inches per year and for this reason the winery has to source its water for irrigation from 200 meter wells. The winery was built in 2002 and is one of the most modern and technologically advanced wineries of its type in Argentina. In 2005, La Puerta inaugurated their olive oil facility, incorporating the latest state of the art technology to process their rapidly increasingly olive crop and to produce premium quality olive oil.
