THE STORY
"Our vineyards are located in the foothills of the Andes, in the province of Mendoza, Argentina, from 700 meters to 1100 meters above sea level. The region's desert climate and soil conditions are ideal for the development of Malbec and other red varieties. Low yields, significant thermal gradients (warm days, cool nights), poor alluvial soils, low rainfall, high altitude and the pure Andes irrigation water, all work together to mature grapes that can be transformed into complex, deep and structured wines.
Achaval-Ferrer is and will always be a small winery. We are joyfully committed to the production of limited quantities of the best red wines. Our team shares this passion for making great wines that are a faithful expression of their terroir.A group of Argentinean and Italian friends started this adventure in 1998, with love for the land and the goal of achieving the highest quality.Santiago Achaval and Manuel Ferrer (pictured below) are the Argentinean partners. The Italian partners are Roberto Cipresso, (the winemaker), and Tiziano Siviero."

Achaval Ferrer Finca Bella Vista 2007
There was no 2005 or 2006 Finca Bellavista because of hail. A barrel sample of the 2007 Finca Bella Vista, sourced from a vineyard planted in 1910, is super-perfumed with aromas of black raspberry, black cherry, floral notes, and mineral that is already revealing complexity. The wine is impeccably balanced, has an elegant personality despite its size, layers of flavor, and a very lengthy finish. Give it five years in the cellar and drink it from 2013 to 2030.
