Barrel-fermented Malbec and Cabernet Franc from Mendoza's high-altitude Uco Valley.

Luna de Esperanza operates in Mendoza's Uco Valley, a region defined by high-altitude vineyards and diurnal temperature swings that sharpen acidity and deepen color in dark-skinned varieties. The winery focuses on barrel-fermented expressions of Malbec and Cabernet Franc—grapes that thrive in these conditions. The Barrel Fermented Malbec, the flagship offering, captures the varietal's signature dark fruit and structure, earning recognition from Wine Enthusiast. A Barrel Fermented Cabernet Franc rounds out the portfolio, showcasing the lighter-bodied elegance and herbal notes the variety is known for. Both wines reflect the precision that altitude and careful fermentation technique bring to Uco Valley fruit.
