Belasco de Baquedano: A Malbec Sanctuary

Belasco de Baquedano stands as a modern testament to the Belasco family's winemaking legacy, dating back to 1831. Located in Agrelo, Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, the winery is dedicated to crafting exceptional Malbec wines. Juan Ignacio Belasco, originally from Spain, fell in love with the Malbec grape and sought to create a winery that would showcase its full potential. The winery's architecture is modern, incorporating gravity-flow systems and advanced technology to ensure gentle handling of the grapes. One of its unique features is the Aroma Room, boasting 46 distinct scents designed to help visitors identify the complex aromas found in wine. The winery focuses exclusively on Malbec, experimenting with different oak usages and processing techniques to create a range of nuanced wines. Visitors can enjoy guided tours of the winery and vineyards, participate in wine tastings, and dine at the Restaurante Navarra, which offers panoramic views of the Andes Mountains. The restaurant pairs upscale South American cuisine with the winery's signature Malbecs, providing a complete sensory experience.
