Bodega Antigal was established on the site of a historic winery in Russell, Maipú, Mendoza - Argentina, whose origin dates back to 1897. ​2000 With its completed remodeling, Antigal achieved the very best in high-tech functionality while respecting the original appearance of a historically important landmark in Mendoza, Argentina.

Antigal – ONE Premium wine LA DOLORES VINEYARD Malbec

WINEMAKING This superb Malbec was conceived from the beginning of the life cycle of the fruit: from the start of the pruning and thinning that made sure that each vine on a single parcel of Antigal’s finest and most elevated vineyard bore only top-quality grapes. At the winery the very best berries from carefully sorted clusters were selected, with bleeding performed to enhance colour and concentration. Every subsequent winemaking step protected the excellence of fruit grown in unimprovable conditions for its varietal type. TASTING NOTES “The 2014 vintage shows a very deep purple-red colour with blue tones. An array of aromas includes plum, raspberry, strawberry, herbal notes, thyme and linden. Concentrated and fresh in the mouth, this wine has excellent structure and silky tannins that persist through a long finish.”

ADUENTUS Classic

WINEMAKING Aduentus Classic is a Bordeaux-style blend with beautiful garnet colour and hints of ink black, providing an immediate hint of the varietal, the dominance of which gives the finished wine its Argentine touch. Malbec, a red grape from the Argentine firm, enjoys optimal growing conditions in our vineyards high up in the Uco Valley, as do the supporting players of Aduentus Classic, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. In our winery, each varietal was carefully crafted into exquisite wines before the boing was artistically blended into this delicious blend. TASTING NOTES "The wine's ruby colour, bright and intense, hints at the aromatic complexity to come. Each sip reveals an intriguing new layer of flavour, with notes of black fruits, anise, white pepper, spices, mint, pepper, coconut, chocolate, and dulce de leche all adding to the drinking pleasure."

ADUENTUS Cabernet Franc

TASTING NOTES “Aduentus Cabernet Franc 2016 displays a gorgeous colour: a rich garnet with glints of inky black. Intermingling notes of sweet tomato, white chocolate, roasted pimento, pepper, liquorice, chamomile, coconut, vanilla and cocoa harmonize on the palate. Medium-bodied and fine textured, the wine is notable for its lingering finish.”
