Patagonia is considered one of Argentina’s most beautiful places and for wine-makers it offers fertile soil, numerous hours of sun and abundant water. In this privileged setting Bodega del Rio Elorza was born, a realisation of a combined dream between two families - the ‘Del Rio’ and the ‘Elorza’ family. In 2001 the Del Rio Elorza family purchased a vineyard originally planted at the beginning of the 20th century. Planting to high density, their 20 hectare site now includes Malbec, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot and Cabernet Franc and their wines go from strength to strength. Tim Atkin MW considers Del Rio Elorza to be one of the top 25 wineries in Argentina ‘to watch’. Led by internationally renowned wine- maker Alberto Antonini and local wine-maker Agustin Lombroni, their understanding of this unique Patagonian terroir imparts great personality in their wines.
