One of Argentina’s most iconic and historic Bodega’s.

We are delighted to be working directly with the iconic Bodega y Cavas de Weinert.

Located in the heart of the famous Mendoza region in Luján de Cuyo, Don Bernardo Weinert founded Bodega y Cavas de Weinert after acquiring the building in 1974 and joining forces with renowned winemaker, Rául de la Mota.

Don Bernardo Weinert is a man whose business philosophy is very simple: “As long as you have your own philosophy and keep it over the years, you will be well on the way.”

Introducing the latest technology after an extensive renovation of the 19^th century winery, Bernardo and Rául soon established the famous quality associated with Weinert today. The release of the 1977 vintage of Malbec Estrella became a legend and is one of the first 100% Malbecs to be showcased internationally as a fine wine. Seventeen years later, the second vintage of Estrella was released.

Hubert Weber, a Swiss oenologist joined Bodega Weinert in 1996 as winemaker. Since joining the Bodega, Hubert has continued the storied history of producing some of the finest wine in Argentina. The speciality of aged Malbec, along with other varieties, is at home in Luján de Cuyo. “The best terroir for Malbec”, Weber uses his Swiss precision and a strict criterion when purchasing and selecting grapes from small grape growers to produce the wine we are proud to stock at Firth & Co.
