Don Cristóbal
Argentina
Argentina’s cultural tradition is strongly linked to wine. The influence of the Latin civilizations of Spain and Italy have played
a very important role in the country`s social, political and cultural development. Long term friends Eduardo Lapania and Juan
Bautista Pacella established Latinfina S.A as a joint project and each has a 50% share in the company. The vineyards and
winery of Don Cristóbal 1492 were founded in 1988 and the first vintage to be produced was 2001.
By using state-of-the-art technology and following the best traditions for the production of their wines, the Don Cristobal
team (18 people in all), aim to develop the highest possible quality of wines.
Don Cristóbal 1492 is an innovative, modern winery with a capacity of 800,000 litres, retaining the traditions of Mendoza and
the best European oenological practices. They processes their own grapes, selecting and collecting by hand in 15 kilo boxes.
The wines are matured in French Oak (90%) and American oak (10%) barrels for a min of 12 months.
Don Cristóbal has three estates dedicated to modern growing techniques:
La Niña yields outstanding red varieties from its` 17 hectares of old vines.
La Pinta at 620m above sea level produces Verdelho and Chardonnay on 16 hectares
La Santa María at 935m above sea level enjoysoutstanding soil for Malbec and Bonarda
The region of Mendoza, located at the foothill of the Andes at the border of Chile, is beyond doubt, the most traditional and
developed grape growing area of Argentina. Due to exceptional climatic conditions, the best and most prestigious wines are
produced here.

Tasting Notes:
Chenin Chardonnay : This combination of Chardonnay, Chenin and Viognier results in a lively and charming white
Viognier wine, with a bright greenish yellow color. Its aromas remind us of citrus and tropical fruit. It
achieves an ideal balance due to its fresh acidity and its elegant sweet taste.
Merlot Sangiovese : This elegant and harmonious wine from Mendoza-Argentina, results from the assemblage of
Bonarda Merlot, Bonarda and Sangiovese grapes. Having an intense and bright ruby red colour, and
ripe red fruit aromas, this wine is characterized by its soft tannins and its pleasant structure.
