Terroir & vineyards
The place makes the wine.
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.
