In northern Argentina, we discovered Bodega Budeguer: a family business that has been working tirelessly since 2005 to produce wines that honour their origins. We visited their estates in Maipú and Agrelo and were overwhelmed by the quality and hospitality.

A visit to the Zuccardi family in the Uco Valley is a pilgrimage to the future of Argentine viticulture. As a three-time winner of 'Best Vineyard of the World' and 'New World Winery of the Year', Zuccardi is an icon. For our blog, we travelled to Tunuyán to discover how they translate the raw power of the mountains into world-class wines.

A visit to Bodega Catena Zapata in Mendoza is a dream for many, but for the true wine lover, it is a revelation. This is not just any winery; it is the cradle of modern Argentine viticulture. Here, in the shadow of the Mayan-like pyramid, Malbec is not only made, but dissected down to the square metre. We delved into the world of 'terroir science' and crowned ourselves 'Malbec magicians' during the legendary Blending Games.

When you think of Argentine wine, you think of Salentein. But did you know that the heart of this empire has a distinctly Dutch flavour? For the latest blog from Passie voor Wijn Breda, we travelled to the Uco Valley. Here we encountered the legacy of Mijndert Pon: a place where Dutch entrepreneurial spirit and the raw power of the Andes come together in a glass you will never forget.
