Vineyards

Fabre Montmayou sources its grapes from vineyards located in the best viticulture areas of Mendoza (Luján de Cuyo) and much further south, in Patagonia (Alto Valle de Rio Negro).

Bodegas Fabre Montmayou Mendoza

The winery was built in Vistalba – Lujan de Cuyo, 18 Km North of Mendoza city at 3800 feet elevation (1,150 meters of altitude), and is surrounded by the first 15 hectares / 37 acres of Malbec vineyards that Bodegas Fabre S.A bought.

For the Fabre Montmayou line of wines, the owners decided to buy exclusively old-vine vineyards in the best wine growing areas of Mendoza.

Mendoza

Mendoza is the main winemaking area of Argentina with more than 160 000 hectares of vineyards. More than 80% of all Argentinian wines are produced is this province and it has become a centre of reference for the Argentinian and South American wine industry.

Mendoza is made up of five large winemaking regions: North, East, Centre, South and Uco Valley (Valle de Uco). Each region has a very different terroir, each with its own altitude and soil characteristics. These terroirs, coupled with Mendoza’s long, dry and mild autumn, enable wine producers and oenologists to harvest according to their preferred level of grape ripeness, without being restricted by the weather.

Bodegas Fabre Montmayou Patagonia

The Fabre Montmayou winery is located in the Rio Negro Valley in Patagonia at 39º of latitude South, the most southerly vine growing region of America.

These wines from the extremity of the world benefit from a very unique personality thanks to the soil of the desert where the sunny days and cold austral nights provide a very harmonic balance. There, the magic of the Terroir confers unique aromas, flavors and structure.

Patagonia

Patagonia is the southernmost region of Argentina where grapes are grown. It covers the provinces of Río Negro, Neuquén and La Pampa, and has 4 600 hectares of vineyards. It has the added prestige of being the world’s southernmost winegrowing region. Winters are harsh and summers cool, particularly at night, which allows us to obtain harmonic combinations of acidity and sweetness and abundant aromas.

Among the virtues of the region may be mentioned the slow, protracted ripening of the grapes. Our vineyards stand at 220 m. above sea level. All these features lend Patagonian wines refined flavours, unequalled aromatic intensity and a unique personality that reflect the purity of the environment.

Winemaking

We farm with traditional sustainable methods in order to obtain the best grapes while respecting the environment. We practice short pruning and green harvesting to ensure the balance of each vine and arrive at the target yields for each of the varieties. The grapes are handpicked once the fruit has reached optimum ripeness.

Once picked grapes arrive at both winery in 40 lbs. trays and the clusters are carefully hand sorted prior to the destemming. There is a second hand sorting table for individual berries as they come out of the de-stemmer to ensure that only the highest quality grapes go into our flagship wines.

Fermentation is carried out at controlled temperatures with three to four pump-overs per day. Extended maceration (skin contact) allows for greater extraction of tannins, which will add structure to the finished wine before barrel aging begins.

With constant care and personal style – essential elements for great quality – Fabre Montmayou combines modern winemaking, the terroir of Mendoza and Patagonia and the Bordeaux « savoir-faire » to produce wines of unique personality.
