Producer: Bodegas Escorihuela Gascón

Bodegas Escorihuela Gascón is one of Mendoza’s traditional wineries. Don Miguel Escorihuela Gascón came to Argentina from Aragón in Spain in 1880 and founded his winery in Mendoza a few years later. From this origin developed an estate that is today closely linked to the history of Argentinian viticulture. The bodega places great importance on careful vineyard work, selective grape selection and precise vinification. Mendoza, with its high-altitude sites, dry conditions and large temperature differences between day and night, offers ideal conditions for this. Malbec in particular, but also Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, find conditions here that combine ripe fruit, structure, freshness and concentration.
