An underwater winery in Las Grutas
Come to a unique winery in the country, which produces its wines in the lands of Río Negro and then ages them at the bottom of the sea.
Have you indulged yourself in tasting oceanic wines? Raise your cup in Las Grutas. Did you know that sea water speeds up aging time? Discover also how temperature, pressure, light, and sea water movement help wines reach their maximum potential. Learn the secrets of a production process that starts in San Javier vineyards and ends at an underwater cellar next to the Patagonian coast.
Come taste wines with delicate flavors and intense aromas. Fresher, more fruity reds and whites, with less sugar and lower alcohol content than mountain wines. Enjoy their bottles, which showcase designs inspired in the sea and in the contact with nature. They say the sea bottom is the best wine cave. Come see for yourself, and uncork a bottle to your health.
