About this company
Familia Vicente Pearce (FVP) grows wine grapes in Mendoza, Argentina and makes single vineyard red and rosé wines sourced from our Azcuenaga Vineyard planted in 1990. Our team lives in both Mendoza and the USA. The Vicente and Pearce families came together when a girl from Mendoza, Argentina met a guy from Buffalo, NY. We bought the Azcuenaga Vineyard together in 2011. Our focus is on high quality single-vineyard red and rose wines that we love to drink and that reflect their origin here in Lunlunta. We specialize in Malbec, Cabernet Franc, and our Bordeaux-inspired Corte, a single vineyard red blend. Our reds spend at least 12 months in oak (225 and 500L barrels), they undergo cold maceration and temperature controlled fermentation, are unfined, and have only the minimal free sulfites for stability (~30ppm). We are a small family owned and operated business expecting to bottle 1,000 cases in 2022. FVP Wines are imported to the USA by PEVI WINE IMPORTER, LLC in Buffalo, NY.
