Luna Malbec is boutique, family-owned business originating at Finca Bella Luna at the foothills of the Andes Mountains in the heart of Argentina wine country. We are dedicated to producing wines that reflect the true spirit of Argentina, a land steeped in Spanish and Italian wine making traditions with a New World flair. Founded in 2010, we have 13 acres of high quality malbec grapes whose root stock is from the fabled Barrancas Pascual Toso vines. We hand harvest annually approximately 70,000kg of grapes, yielding some 50,000 750ml bottles. We use one of our neighbors wine processing facilities to elaborate our wine, and from this we reserve annually some 3,000ltrs in French oak barrels for 6-12 months for our Reserve style wine. At Luna we want to do our small part in making things positive and better for our world. Sustainable farming practices, treating workers fairly and equally with respect and appreciation, producing wine responsibly that can bring a smile to someone's face and to leaving the world a better place when we pass on.
