Buy or order Piedra Negra wine

Piedra Negra's Argentine wines are true icons of Argentine viticulture. Argentina boasts a wealth of legendary wineries. Names like Salentein, Terrazas, and Catena are renowned wineries that have defined Argentine viticulture for years.

However, Piedra Negra clearly played a key role in the development of Argentine wines. Its founder was none other than Francois Lurton, a leading European winemaker who amazed both friends and foes from the very beginning. Thanks to his expertise, he successfully introduced Malbec to Argentina on a large scale.

The Argentine wines of Piedra Negra

Piedra Negra's wines are grown in the Uco Valley, perhaps Argentina's most famous wine region after Mendoza. Piedra Negra's vineyards are managed in an environmentally friendly manner, aided by Argentina's dry and warm climate. Make no mistake: the average Piedra Negra vineyard sits at an altitude of 1100 meters, making Argentina's vineyards among the highest in the world.

The Piedra Negra Malbec wines from Argentina

The Malbec grape is undoubtedly the hallmark of Argentine winemaking. This intense grape originates in France, specifically Bordeaux. However, it was considered too strong and intense here and nearly became extinct. Fortunately, several winemakers, including Lurton, discovered that Malbec thrives in Argentine vineyards. As a result, the grape made its way over to Argentina and has become an essential ingredient in Piedra Negra wines. It is this grape that contributes to the overwhelming bouquet of the Piedra Negra Gran Malbec.
