San Rafael Merlot, Malbec, and Pinot Noir from Mendoza's cool southern slopes.

Ombu operates in San Rafael, the southern reaches of Mendoza's wine country, where elevation and continental climate shape distinctive expressions of classic varietals. The winery produces Merlot, Malbec, and Pinot Noir—three grapes that thrive in the region's cool nights and intense sun. Wine Enthusiast has rated these wines, with the Merlot and Malbec emerging as the portfolio's strongest performers. San Rafael's terroir, marked by high altitude and diurnal temperature swings, favors wines of structure and precision. Ombu's focus on these three varietals reflects both regional strengths and a deliberate approach to winemaking in one of Argentina's most dynamic southern zones.
