Wineries in San Juan

n the South of the Province of San Juan is the Tulum Valley, one of the most important areas in the viticultural industry. With dry and template weather and a height of 600 meters, a great variety of wines is made; from table wines to fine and liquor-like wines. Its alluvial sandy and clayish permeable soils are ideal for the practice of viticulture.
Just like other areas in the country, in San Juan, only table wine is made. Nowadays, due to the technological advance introduced by some wineries and the re-conversion of vineyards, fine wines of excellent quality are being made. The noble grape that has best adapted to the area is the Syrah, managing a great aromatic concentration and a fleshy body.
Future crops will reflect the potential of these lands.

Bodegas y Viñedos Santiago Graffigna represents one of the emblematic prides in the Province of San Juan. More than 100 years of history in the fine wine market have turned Graffigna into the most awarded Argentinian winery in the wine contest held in Brussels in 2005.
It all began when don Juan Carlos Graffigna, an Italian immigrant, began a humble winemaking undertaking in 1869. The vision of this pioneer was continued with dedication by his successors, who always developed this activity in the District of Pocito. Temperature extremes and intense sunshine make the cabernet sauvignon, syrah, chardonnay, chenín and riesling grapevines reach their exact ripeness point in order to produce delicious wines in constant balance.
