Valle Perdido is one of Argentina’s fastest
rising stars, led by renowned winemakers Alberto Antonini and Hector
Durigutti. Their single-estate vineyard is located in one of
Argentina’s newest winegrowing regions – Patagonia. The winery takes
its name from a 16th century legend of a sacred “Lost Valley” and
its enchanted city that was inhabited by peaceful, happy ghosts,
living in golden domes adorned with countless precious jewels. Like
the fable of Brigadoon, this lost city is shrouded by mists and
remains hidden from all non-believers. Valle Perdido’s
state-of-the-art, gravity flow winery is located on the 39th
southern parallel, and is considered to be one of the southernmost
vineyards in the world. Its pristine irrigation water is sourced
from nearby glacier snowmelt and the alluvial sandy vineyard soil is
free-draining and naturally low-yielding. Long sunshine hours and
cool Patagonian nights give Valle Perdido’s wines excellent natural
acidity and allow grape to reach optimum maturity for harvesting.
