Let’s welcome Bodega Luis Segundo Correas from Mendoza, Argentina to the Vancouver International Wine Festival. Hear about the winery, in their own words.
About Bodega Luis Segundo Correas
The Correas family arrived in Mendoza at the end of the 16th Century, with Mr. Pedro Correas de Larrea, who married Mrs. Beatriz de Videla, a native of the province. The viticulture history of the family began in 1860 with Don Segundo Correas, who planted noble grapes of French origin and built the first winery.
In Medrano, Julian Correas founded the winery ‘El Cypress’, famous for the Cabernet Sauvignon in the 30s. In 1972 in Medrano, Mendoza modernized the present winery at Tres Acequias Street, with extra capacity in accordance with the increase of the vineyards which their father planted in 1925. This allows them to elaborate exclusively with their own grapes, a tradition which today is maintained by his children, Luis, Julian, Francisco, and Diego. The family owns 400 hectares of vineyards, some of which are 70 years old. The vineyards are watered entirely by ice melt water from the mountain range of the Andes.
Respecting the artisan philosophy imposed on by our ancestors, the directors added technological advances, new know-how and modern facilities to optimize the process of wine-making. The direction of the vineyards and winery is performed personally on a daily basis by its owners, fourth generation of this traditional family, who has maintained the company in constant growth and novelty presence in the international Market.
