About Us

Familia Marguery arises from the strong belief of producing high quality wines, in limited amounts, by using the best technology available, focused on Malbec as a variety.

We believe that our mission is trying to understand what each vineyard has to say every year so that their exact words are expressed in our wines, without betrayals. We just want to be mediators between our vineyards and our custom-ers, being able to name our wines: estate wines.

We produced our first harvest in the year 2000 and started to operate in the market as from 2002.

Our Vineyards

Our wines come from small estates strategically located in paradigmatic regions for the growth of Malbec. We work in each of them with extreme care.

- Viña “Carpinteros”: Las Compuertas, Luján de Cuyo.- Viña “El Dique”: Villa Seca, Tunuyan. Valle de Uco- Viña “Villafañe”: Altamira, San Carlos. Valle de Uco

The common denominator of these vineyards is their altitude: over 1,000 meters above sea level. This altitude results in an extraordinary temperature range: warm days and very cold nights. Such difference in temperature assures ideal conditions for the correct matura-tion of polyphenols, excellent color synthesis and great acidity.

The Winery

The winery has stainless steel tanks, pumps, cooling systems, a sorting table and a state-of-the-art pneumatic press.

The capacity of the tanks ranges from 3,000 to 20,000 litres allowing us to pro-cess each vineyard separately. Therefore, we are able to thoroughly follow our vineyards' oenological evo-lution and identify parcels with more potential distinguishing types of fruits and concentration of polyphenols.

Barrel room for 100 oak barrels.
