PRODUCER BACKGROUND

Bodega Renacer was founded by Patricio Reich, who has been in the wine industry since the late 1980s. He started his career as a partner and managing director of Viña San Pedro in Chile. His passion for wine grew over the years, and it was then that as a family – together with his children – they decided to embark on a new project aimed at producing premium wines.

Built in 2004 in Perdriel, Luján de Cuyo, at the foot of the Andes Mountains, the winery is a tower with Tuscan- inspired walls, pergolas and Italian-style gardens to honor their family roots and create a warm and welcoming space for all who visit.

The Renacer vineyards are located in Perdriel, a unique area of Mendoza – Argentina, at the foot of the Andes Mountains and on the south margin of the Mendoza River. In this area Malbec and Cabernets find their best expression due to the outstanding characteristics of climate, altitude, soil and water.

30 hectares of estate vineyards, some of them more than seventy years old, planted with Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc with a production of less than 8 tons per hectare. In order to take advantage of the expressions of the different terroirs of Mendoza, Renacer works long term relationships with the best local producers in the micro-regions of Valle de Uco and Luján de Cuyo.
