Finca Buenaventura
Bunbury Blend
Uco Valley, Mendoza, Argentina

BOLD WINE STYLE

“Our wines are the expression of this soil and sky: they have structure, intensity, aromas and different levels of flavors. Raspberry and blackberry flavors, roasted notes, spices, and a touch of vanilla. Final length, enveloping and fruity.” 

On the eyes, this wine has an intense deep red color with shades of purple and black. On the nose, it presents complex, red fruits and spices; black fruit, spice and black pepper; and secondary aromas of vanilla and chocolate from the oak. On the mouth it is elegant and creamy with a touch of dried fruit and a long finish. An excellent quality of tannins appear as part of the complexity and body of the wine.

ABOUT THE WINERY:
Fernando del Castillo and Ana Maria Delmar started this project in 2003 when they were looking for the perfect spot to establish an innovative idea: produce the best expression of the soil and sky. They found the land situated at the foothill, and on the aquifer, at an altitude of 3852 feet, protected by 180 degrees of mountains. They studied the land for more than one year, and began working. By 2005, the Finca Buenaventura vineyard was complete.

Fernando and Ana Maria come from completely different backgrounds. Fernando was a successful lawyer, participating in the Constitutional Reform as a consultant and constituent; while Ana Maria was a language and literature professor at a university.  Both returned to school to be prepared for this challenge; they studied agri-business and marketing and continue to grow their knowledge at the vineyard and winery.

They are proud of having a fantastic, hard working team. Even their son and daughters, who have their own professions – an Oenologist, a Designer and an Agronomical Engineer- are all deeply involved in their family’s project. They understand the family’s idea that wine is an expression of art and are responsible of the vineyard with their 20 to 150 workers in harvest time.
