Winemaking

STATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITY
Designed As Much For Function As It Is For "Wow" Factor

Everything gleams, from red lacquered concrete floors throughout, to shiny stainless steel tanks, to burnished oak barrels that rest behind brick arched windows. With top notch modern technology, we use refrigerated grape chambers, gravity-driven grape delivery from sorting table to tank, délestage (submerged cap) tanks to maximize intensity and balance by extracting more color and flavor from skins, and a temperature and humidity controlled lounge for bottle storage.

Belen obtained her Bachelors degree in Oenology at Mendoza University in Argentina. She worked for eight years at a well-known winery in Tupungato and since last year is the head winemaker at Belasco.

Renowned winemaker Michel Rolland has consulted with over 250 world-class wineries throughout 14 countries around the world and is credited with contributing to the evolution of viticulture and winemaking as it is known today. Michel Roland joined Belen Munoz from Mendoza, Argentina. “Michel is a force in the winemaking world who brings unparalleled expertise, but he also recognizes the true potential for Malbec from Agrelo to be some of the best wines in the world. I am excited to see what this talented group of individuals is capable of.” – Mikel Belasco. “Exceptional as one would expect from this winemaking genius. An accurate observation about Rolland is that his wines’ quality levels are always world-class and among the finest that exist.” – Robert M. Parker Jr. of Wine Advocate
