A little piece of history
Founded in 1862, Viña Maipú is one of the oldest wineries still operating today. With more that 100 years of history, the winery was selected to nurture our project.
This is how Casir dos Santos was born. A winery which brings together a great history and a team of people who continuously bring professionalism, creativity and passion.
The winery was modernised, and equipped with state of the art technology, a real example of science and technology placed at service of the most noble of beverages to maintain its essence unpolluted.
Uco Valley
(Valle de Uco)
It is the most important area in terms of style and quality of wines. Right at the foot of the Andes (Pre-Cordillera), the Uco Valley has its own and very particular microclimate, with a big temperature range, cooler weather and complexity in the soils that result in very intense wines with their own personality and refinement.
Our land in Guatallary was planted with Cabernet Sauvignon 20 years ago. Its soil is composed mainly of sand and rocks. The irrigation system uses melt water from the Andes. The result are small grapes and low yields per hectare that lead to wines of great concentration and mineral notes.
In San Carlos there is an old vineyard. They are 15 hectares of Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon, with 50 years old plants. This vineyards give high quality grapes. The soils present a rocky middle stripe on it, that allows better drainage resulting on high density of flavors.
The vineyard in Vistaflores is a dream. With its 20 years old, it is planted exclusively with Malbec on soils with drainage that give a great mineral character to wine.
Agrelo
Agrelo is a prominent area in the sub-region of Lujan de Cuyo, the oldest area in Argentinean viticulture. This 10 years old vineyard is located at 3.100 feet over sea level with alluvial and sandy soils with a big ammunt of rocks. This is one of the most prestigious terroirs in Argentina
Lunlunta
Located in Maipú, this 15 hectares vineyard of 100% Malbec on the edge of the Mendoza River has soils formed by the river’s sediments, good drainage and because of it’s influence it has big temperature range between days and nights. The vines are more than 80 years old, low yields and great quality grapes..
