Bodega Raffy
Category: Winery
Country: Argentina
Date:01/02/2013
- Created by a French family, Bodega Raffy has applied best practices of the Old Continent (low yields, use of old vines for grape complexity and concentration, strong expression of the terroir, manual harvesting) while adapting to its new environment in the wonderful Tupungato Valley next to the Andes Mountain Range. The Malbec varietal finds here the dry climate and the constant sunlight that it needs to reach its full maturity. Balance, elegance and complexity are the key features of our wines. - We concentrate on making some of the best malbec wines in Argentina, and several prizes have confirmed this for our first vintage on the market, such as Decanter Magazine's Regional Trophy "Best Malbec in Argentina" or a 90-point rating from Wine Enthusiast. Wine Spectator, Stephen Tanzer and Parker scores should follow this year, once we are distributed in the US market. - even though we have only operated for less than a year, our wines have successfully been placed in countries as diverse as Sweden, France, China (Hong-Kong), Poland, Singapore, Spain (and especially summer resort islands such as Ibiza and Mallorca), Canada, Argentina - We are now actively targeting the US market. - exclusive distribution agreements can be negotiated
