Atamisque - Petit Verdot - 750 Ml.

"Uco" was an Indian chief, from the tribe of the Huarpes Millcayak, who inhabited this valley for centuries. It was only around 1491-1493 that the Incas arrived from Peru. In 1608 the Jesuits settled in Mendoza and in 1658 they founded a rural property in the Uco Valley; the San José ranch, which gave rise to the town and the Atamisque ranch created later. This property owned 19,000 hectares; being divided at the end of the XIX century. The ranch had different owners who followed each other, until it was acquired by a Frenchman, John Du Monceau, who fell in love with the place and decided to settle there to live. His wife, Chantal, having had a winemaker grandfather in the Beaujolais region of France, supports the idea of ​​building a winery on the property; This is how "Bodega Atamisque" was born, which is inspired by the original name of the place, with the first harvest taking place in March 2007.
