Achaval Ferrer
Achaval Ferrer was founded by a group of Argentinian and Italian friends who loved wine and were determined to produce something outstanding – an aim encouraged by celebrated Italian oenologist Roberto Cipresso, one of the founding team.
From the outset, the friends’ ambition was decisive and bold; they would make a world-class wine in Argentina, in high altitude Mendoza. In terms of customer satisfaction and Press recognition, they have achieved this in spades. The original group inspired today’s young Pretenders, a young talented team which is as passionate about the Achaval wines as the founders.
The wines of Achaval Ferrer will continue to come from the same excruciatingly low-yielding, high altitude sites and from ancient, un-grafted vines.
The goals are to achieve absolute quality, create a very pure expression of Malbec, and ensure vibrancy and freshness across all of the wines.
Today, Achaval-Ferrer can be found in 62 countries world-wide, a treat for Malbec wine lovers everywhere. Its philosophy is a three-pronged approach to producing the best New World-Old World wine.
Their entry level Mendoza wines, the Malbec, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, offer a snapshot of the region, balanced and fresh wines that offer excellent value for everyday drinking.
The mid-level wine, Quimera, is a blend of Malbec, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, a Bordeaux blend skewed to Argentina’s signature grape.
And the crowning achievement, the single vineyard “Finca” wines, are small production, expressive Malbec wines that truly channel Argentina’s terroir, Finca Altamira, Finca Bella Vista, and Finca Mirador.
