Salentein

 

This magnificent winery was designed considering both shape and purpose in the form of a cross. This allows the gentle handling of the grapes, same as reducing the distance that the fruits need to be moved from one stage to another.

Each of the wings is a small winery with two levels- a ground level that houses stainless steel tanks and French wooden vats for fermentation and storage, and an underground level for ageing wine in oak casks. The two levels allow the wine to flow from the tanks to the barrels by a traditional gravity transfer system. The four wings converge in a circular central chamber, which resembles an amphitheatre and was inspired by ancient classical temples.

Atamisque

In the Uco Valley, in the district of San José- Tupungato, on Route 86, famously known as the “Ruta del Vino” or “Wine Route”, the “Atamisque” estate shows up. At the entrance, a poplars' grove welcomes the visitor. The main entry is behind a stone wall. Here, one can entirely grasp the rich diversity of this philosophically interesting project. The owners, John and Chantal Du Monceau, invite you to discover and to enjoy the harmony between leisure, recreation and the sound of nature.

In the Rincón Atamisque, the chef, Patricia Torres, 23 years old, offers a union between “the gourmet and the local”, with an amazing variety of recipes based on trout which are fished in the Atamisque estate’s very own trout farm. They are selected daily so are always fresh. In addition, the quality of the fruit accompanying the dishes is also highly attended to. The idea is to bring creativity, care and exquisite tastes together. The menu also consists of meat dishes and home-made pasta. Won a silver medal in gastronomy from the Great Wine Capitals, Best of 2012 competition.
