Atamisque Malbec

30.00

«Uco» was an Indian chief of the Huarpes Millcayak tribe, who had lived in this valley for centuries. The Incas arrived from Peru around 1491-1493. In 1608 the Jesuits settled in Mendoza and in 1658 they founded a rural property in the Uco Valley, the San José ranch, which gave rise to the town and the Atamisque ranch, which was created later. This property had 19,000 hectares and was divided at the end of the 19th century. The ranch had several owners in succession until it was acquired by a Frenchman, John Du Monceau, who fell in love with the place and decided to settle there. His wife, Chantal, having had a grandfather
who was a winemaker in the Beaujolais region in France, supported the idea of ​​building a winery on the property, thus, «Bodega Atamisque» was born, inspired by the original name of the place, with the first harvest taking place in March 2007.Atamisque is a fabulous winery set up by a French couple focussing on making real wine in a more natural style.
