La Azul

Overview

La Azul had humble beginnings as just a vineyard, selling harvested grapes sold to local winemakers. Today it is a thriving boutique winery with a reputation for great quality red wines and attention to detail. The winery continues to use old fashioned artisanal techniques, such as adding egg whites as a filter for the wines. If you visit, the winemaker himself will walk you through the facility and its processes himself.

But it's not all education at La Azul. A parrilla style (barbecue) restaurant next door is a great way to spend a few hours in this beautiful part of the Uco Valley, eating great food and drinking fantastic wines. And perhaps stealing a few grapes from the wines too.

Facilities & features

Wine to try: The Gran Reserva Malbec-Cabernet Sauvignon blend is a superb value.
