Vinedos O.Fournier A CRUX Malbec Uco Valley Mendoza Argentina
Description: At the turn of the millenium the Spanish family Ortega Gil-Fournier founded a small 'boutique' winery at the foot of the Andes, in La Consulta, in the Argentinean province of Mendoza.

It will have a capacity of 600,000 litres in stainless steel, oak and cement vats, ranging from 6,500 to 25,000 litres in capacity. The new winery has been designed to work with gravity to minimise the use of pumps. The underground cellar will be able to hold up to 2,800 oak barrels at a constant temperature and humidity. In light of the company's commitment to continously improve its wines, it has plans for developing an innovative laboratory with microvinification capabilities. A small hotel and restaurant will also be built near the winery to accomodate visitors. The grapes are picked manually, by the company's own workers, and placed in 18-kg. boxes, allowing the Bodega to control the quality of the grapes right from the vineyard. (6 x 75 cl)
