How to live like a rockstar in Argentina Series Part 3: Mendoza - Vineyards and Wine

Mendoza winery, Bodegas López, Maipú, Province of Mendoza, Argentina, South America

Stands out from the Argentine wine industry as an exceptional case since its creation in 1898 it is still managed by the third and fourth generation of the founding family, under the presidency of Mr. Carlos Alberto López. The founder, José López Rivas, was born in Algarrobo (Málaga), Spain, where he devoted himself and his family to vine and olive growing. Fleeing from a destroying plague affecting European vineyards, the Phylloxera, he decided to migrate to Argentina in 1886. Twelve years later (1898), he settled down definitely in Mendoza, and the strength of the familiar wine-making tradition flourished immediately. There, he began the production of wines made from own grapevines grown in the best areas, a practice which has been maintained since then, as well as the criteria of controlling every step of the wine-making process, by supervising and taking care of every detail. These first wines, commercialized in barrels, were very successful given their quality. Soon, market demands surpassed production, and in view of the need to increase it, José López Rivas acquired a property in the district of General Gutiérrez, department of Maipú, where the first winery was built. That year, not only the basis of the future familiar company was born, but also the person who would head the enterprise almost until it reached its 80 years: José Federico López, only son of the founder and eager follower of his father's spirit and ideas. By the year 1907 Mendoza was considered the richest and most important province from the Andes group. Maipú department was the main viticulture district and the place where José López Rivas and his brothers had begun their activities since the beginning of the century. Regarding José López Rivas' performance, he sostained that his thorough and permanent atention gave him the possibility to obtain wines qualified as ...the highest expression of the French kind. In this path, complex yet genuine, a new style was being forged -- the López style -- full of dedication and conviction. In the following years, the Winery's objectives were directed to increasing wines availability, due to the great acceptance the first wines that were sold in barrels and caskets acquired given their great quality. In order to fulfil the growing demand of wines, it began a sustained expansion of vineyards growing and the acquisition of estates in regions with climate and soil composition that were ideal for the growing of grapes. At the end of the 1910, José Federico López, son of the winery's Founder, started to coolaborate in the company, by doing each and every activity of the Winery. In 1922, he took over the management of the company, which resulted in a decisive growth the company underwent in the following years.
With this new position, the winery will accompany a sustained expansion of vineyards together with a constant growth in the wood aging capacity. Between 1949 and 1959, the company changed its name José López and Son to Bodegas y Viñedos López S.A. By this time, a new product appears: Jerez FL (Sherry wine), as a tribute to old Andalucia's wines. The growth in sales proved the great acceptance of fine wines in the general demand and showed that the wine aging process, started in 1928, was very profitable. It is also evident a progressive growth in exports to bordering countries and Central America. José Federico López, together with his sons, led an investment program to enlarge the capacity of the storing plant, the wine bottling plant and the olive oil factory. For this purpose, he renewed the instaled machinery by importing European technology and optimizing its use so as to satisfy the growing demand. The Winery launches new brands of table and reserve wines: Vasco Viejo in 1950, Montchenot in 1966: the third classic of the Winery and Selección López in 1973, a wine that today is called Malbec López. The same plucky spirit and dedication the Winery had with its wines, was the impulse to try out the production of sparkling wines in 1970: the brandnames Montchenot (Nature) and Mont Reims (Brut) were presented. In the 70's, the winery enlarged 200% its exports. As a result, there were new technological changes and an increase in fine wines storing capacity. But the key aspect of these hundred years was the reaffirmation of three interdependent yet basic elements in the commercial life of the company, and that show its constant craving for excellence: quality, brandname and image. In the 80th anniversary of the Winery, the company was granted a recognition to the quality of its products, in the First National Wine Contest in the UVEXPO Mendoza in 1971.

Ep 285: Mendoza, Argentina and it's many facets

Mendoza is Argentina’s most important and prolific wine region, representing two-thirds of the nation’s wine production. We talk about the effect of altitude and other geographical features that make this area so unique. Then we break down sub regions and discuss the incredible diversity that guarantees there is a wine style for every palate out of this beautiful, mountainous wine region.



Here are the show notes:

First we tackle the stats and some history on the region:

High altitude vineyards in the Andes Mountains that range from 430-1610 M/ 1,411 – 5,282 feet Latitude: 32˚ - 34˚ south 151K hectares/373K acres 5 large sub-regions: Valle de Uco, Primera Zona, North, East and South Mendoza Zones Mendoza wine blossomed with the railroad coming through in 1885 and industrial wine production reigned for many decades. International markets weren’t a priority until the financial crisis of the late 1990s.

Next, we discuss the unique geography and terrain of the region:

We delve into the intense climate, the desert-like conditions, and how irrigation happens thanks to the inventions of the Huarapes and Incas We discuss the altitude for a long time (sorry if it’s too dorky!) – and why it is the most important thing Mendoza has going for it. Most vineyards are 3,000 -5,000 feet above sea level – big diurnals mean grapes can maintain acidity despite intense sunlight Soils: Alluvial with loose sand over clay – areas differ based on what runs down the mountain… Sandy areas – lighter, more aromatic elegance (red fruit) Clay-based soils with lime: Dark, powerful Malbec

We chat about grapes and wine colors of Mendoza

Red: 61.2% with the main grapes: Malbec – 40% Bonarda – 17% Cabernet Sauvignon – 12% Syrah – 9% Tempranillo – 6% White: 15.8%: Chardonnay – 21% Torrontés Riojano – 15% Chenin Blanc – 7% Sauvignon Blac 6.5% Rose: 23%



Then we riff on sub regions for the rest of the show!

I. South Mendoza:

San Rafael: Malbec, Bordeaux blends – Cab, Syrah, Bonnarda, Chard, Semillon, Torrontés II. East Mendoza

San Martin: Lots of coops, lots of Criolla Grande, Cereza, now moving to better wines Lower altitude, a bit warmer, flabbier

III. North Mendoza: also warmer, can be very soft/low tannin and low acid wines



IV. Primera Zona: Maipu and Lujan de Cuyo – 40% of Argentina’s wineries, 881 inn total

Maipu –12 districts, 6% of Argentine wine

Familia Zuccardi, Rutini and Trapiche have vineyards here Maipu is not quite as highly regarded as Lujan de Cuyo or Uco Valley Important Subareas:

Lulunta: East of Mendoza city, altitude is around 900-930m/ 3000 ft Rich style of Malbec Barrancas: 115 miles/185 km south of Mendoza city.Centered around the small township of the same name. Old region – started in 1880s Slightly warmer climate here and lower lower altitude – 2500 ft/750 m- softer and riper than those from other parts of Mendoza Cab, Syrah, Malbec

Luján de Cuyo –14 districts, 8% of Argentine wine production

Just south of the city of Mendoza and on higher ground to the west of Maipú Vistalba and Compuertas north of the river and Perdriel and Agrelo south of it Grapes: Malbec with Cab, Chard, Torrontes Hot, dry, desert-like but moderated by high altitude – average is 3300 ft/1000 m Alluvial soils are the big thing here – rocky, sandy, poor soils, mountain soils – lots of stress on the vine Catena Zapata, Bodega Septima, Cheval des Andes

Important Subareas:

Agrelo

Complex Malbec – long-lasting, powerful wines Also Cab, Syrah, Sauvignon Blanc In Center of Lujan de Cuyo: Bodega Septima, Pulenta Estate, Catena Zapata, Susana Bilbao

Las Compuertas

At opening of the Mendoza River as it emerges from the mountains -- Las Compuertasmeans the floodgates Malbec vines are some of the oldest in Mendoza, up to 100 years old. Other grapes: Cab Franc, Petit Verdot, Chardonnay Famous winery: Cheval des Andes

Perdriel

Small sub-region (20 kilometers/ 13 miles) south of Mendoza Some of the oldest vineyardsof Malbec and Cab Wines are subtler and more refined, floral notes

Vistalba (means view of the dawn in Spanish)

Southwest of Mendoza Malbec, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir Cabernet, Sauv Blanc, Bonarda Slightly higher than the surrounding regions -- better air circulation Wines are often elegant in style Trapiche. Bodega Vistalba



V. Uco Valley (Valle de Uco)-- 14% of all Argentinean wine

Hour's drive south from the city of Mendoza, famed wineries Since 2006, cultivated area grown by 65%, double the size of Luján de Cuyo Grapes: 50% Malbec, Cab Franc has potential, Chard, Torrontés Each zone offers a different profile of Malbec and other wines. European investment here – from Bordeaux in particular:Lurton, Rothschild and Rolland Soils: alluvial and fairly uniform: a clay and rock...
