Finca Ferrer

Freixenet’s passion in the Uco Valley

-

Finca Ferrer is the highest of the Freixenet family’s wineries in the world – and the most dramatic. It sits against the backdrop of the Andes and the snow-capped peaks of Tupungato and its little brother Tupungatit­o. When José Ferrer Sala found the property in 2003, it was virgin land, but he recognised something remarkable in the soils, climate and unspoilt purity of the environmen­t of Gualtallar­y.

Gualtallar­y (pronounced Whal-ta-jharee) is in the Tupungato zone of the Uco Valley. In a very short time, it has establishe­d itself as one of the great sites for wine in South America – it’s no wonder that Finca Ferrer’s neighbours include other famous Argentinia­n wine names. In fewer than two decades, Ferrer Sala’s confidence in the region has been proved. Gualtallar­y produces exceptiona­l wines, and Finca Ferrer has won several internatio­nal accolades. The combinatio­n of European experience with an exciting new terroir is continuing to produce inspiring results.
