Estate grown wines from the Vista Flores region of Uco Valley, Argentina.
We make all of our wine from our two acres , one acre planted to Malbec and one to Cabernet Franc. Our vines are located at 3600+ feet elevation on the eastern edge of the Andes, in the Vista Flores region of Uco Valley. We handcraft small allotments of 95-100% Malbec and Cabernet Franc, some barrel fermented for greater complexity and longevity, and we also make a unique co-fermented blend of roughly equal amounts of each varietal. We think these wines are exceptional, and hope that you will enjoy them.

We are excited to announce that a Dos Abogados wine was highly rated in a recent tasting by renowned expert James Suckling. This was Dos Abogados’ first attempt to get a wine rating and we were limited to just one wine submission and we chose our just released 2019 Cabernet Franc barrel fermented.

Co-Fermentation Versus Blending
At Dos Abogados, like most wine producers, we strive for wines that provide a high quality sensory experience in terms of aromatics and flavor profile: balance and refinement, complexity, purity of fruit and persistent finish. We grow and bottle two distinct red varietals: Malbec and Cabernet Franc. Most of our wine is tank fermented and aged in first or second use French oak; limited lots are barrel fermented and aged in new oak only. We also make a “blend” composed of roughly 50/50% Malbec and Cabernet Franc, which we call Gran Corte, but we do something quite different in creating this wine
