Pulenta

Pulenta Estate is a family-owned operation, established in 2002 by Eduardo and Hugo Pulenta in honour of their pioneering father, Antonio Pulenta. Previous owners of the internationally renowned Trapiche Winery, the Pulenta family are well-versed in exceptional wine production with an intimate knowledge and understanding of their vineyard. The Pulenta Family has been linked to Argentine viticulture for three generations.

The estate is located in Mendoza, Argentina’s main wine producing region; situated on two sites, Alto Agrelo and Uco Valley. This excellent site makes wines of real class and distinction. The 135 hectares are planted with Malbec, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Pulenta enjoys excellent climate conditions and a fantastic panoramic aspect from up to 980 metres above sea level. The Pulenta family make excellent Malbec, increasingly recognised as Argentina's signature grape variety, enhancing its natural exuberant fruitiness with discipline and structure. The brothers' philosophy is expressed as: "Making a great wine is an act of generosity, considering always the one who will taste it. Our mission is to produce limited series of great wines, proudly made in Argentina."
