Lupa - Vinozorrito

Lupa is a boutique bodega located in the center of Paraje Altamira, Valle de Uco, Mendoza, on Contastini street between La Superiora and Costa Canal Uco. Pareje Altamira is situated 1070m/3500ft above sea level. At that altitude, it is cold for grape growing, but nonetheless it is an altitude par excellence when it comes to making exceptional wines.

Lupa uses grapes from the Cuartel Viejo and the Los Cejos barracks that produce an average of 5,500 kilos per hectare. The grapes are harvested by hand, in 17 kilo boxes, during the third week of April. High density backrests. The plants come from a mass selection of the old “French grape” vineyards characteristic of this southwestern area of the Uco Valley. Traditional mantle irrigation, guyot pruning.

“I am a lover of the culture of wine, the land and the mountains; the rivers and everything that surrounds Mendoza. I enjoy cooking and sharing with people who appreciate the warmth of what is done with dedication, passion and personality. After having worked more than 20 years in the wine industry, I was motivated to do something genuine, sincere; that expresses the intensity and elegance of the terroir of Paraje Altamira, where our more than 60-year-old vineyards are located.”
