Discovery Wine Mendoza · conciergeLa Azul was founded in 1997 with Argentine (Pradera Mariotto family) origin. Throughout its history, the house built a distinctive identity within the Uco Valley winemaking landscape, maintaining commitment to quality and consistency vintage after vintage. Its trajectory reflects the evolution of Argentine wine from traditional roots to contemporary premium projects.
La Azul's vineyards sit at around 1.100 metros (Tupungato) altitude in Uco Valley, one of Mendoza's most recognized wine regions. Alluvial stony soils and direct Andean influence define a microclimate of marked temperature swings, ideal for classic Argentine red varietals. Their specialty: Malbec y Cabernet Franc del Valle de Uco.
The winery combines production spaces and visitor areas designed for quality wine tourism. Barrel cellars, tasting rooms and vineyard views are part of a tour designed for visitors to understand the house philosophy. The La Azul Restaurante restaurant offers a gastronomic experience complementing the tasting.
