Gardel
Gardel produces wines from Mendoza, Argentina's premier wine region. The winery focuses on classic varietals suited to the region's high-altitude terroir and intense sunlight. Colección Malbec, the flagship expression, showcases the dark-skinned grape that defines modern Argentine wine—structured, with the ripeness that Mendoza's continental climate delivers. Vendimia Especial Bonarda, a traditional Argentine variety, offers an alternative expression of the region's character. Colección Cabernet Sauvignon rounds out the portfolio, bringing the international standard to local conditions. Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast have rated these releases, reflecting their technical merit and consistency across the lineup.
