--------THE PRODUCER--------

Rosell Boher

The old wine estate, which was founded in the year 1900 by Bernardo Martínez, Alejandro Martínez Rosell’s grandfather, was about to be demolished, but finally recovered in 1999.

 

At Cavas Rosell Boher, we continue the family tradition of making sparkling wines, with the aim of achieving the best product of Argentina. For this purpose, we rely on top-quality grapes grown in our vineyards in Uco Valley, one of the best areas of Mendoza, at 1,300m above sea level.

Not only does the champagne method or méthode traditionnelle, a slow process at low temperature, offer a bouquet, fine bubbles and an aged product, but it also makes Rosell Boher sparklings a unique expression.

The different base wines obtained from a diversity of clones allow us a careful and detailed selection, aiming at finding the desired complexity in the final blend or “cuvée”.

 

--------THE REGION--------

Mendoza

Mendoza is the hub of the Argentinian wine trade. It is known for producing juicy and fresh red wines made from Malbec - though Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah and being planted increasingly.
