DOMINIO DEL PLATA, AGRELO, LUJÁN DE CUYO, MENDOZA
Dominio del Plata is, quite simply, one of the wonders of the modern winemaking world. Rarely will you find a winery and vineyard set in more breathtaking surroundings – the snow-capped Andes loom over the place with an almost god-like air of approval. This is a cathedral to wine, stunningly designed in a way that combines utter exactitude with a true sense of organic charm. From the painstakingly tended rows of vines like marching armies of well-disciplined disciples, to the warmth and homeliness of the winery itself, you can’t help but fall in love with the place.
All of this was, of course, the brain-child of enologist extraordinaire, Susana Balbo. Susana, South America’s first woman winemaker, has been an inspiration for many over the years, with her drive and passion for wine and the wine business globally. Not only an outstanding winemaker, she also finds time to be President of Wines of Argentina.
Precision Viticulture: This is a grape-growing philosophy that demands attention to detail, however small. The planting of the vineyards, varietal selections, vineyard management systems, water management, canopy conduction, sanitary precautions and harvesting decisions are all managed personally by Susana in order to achieve the highest possible quality standards.
Sustainable Agriculture: The entire project is specially designed and implemented in a way that doesn’t harm the natural resources of the land, preserves the environment, functions according to social requirements, and at the same time maintains productivity in order to remain economically competitive.
