Achaval Ferrer, one of the pioneers in bringing the Malbec varietal to the world
Achaval Ferrer, one of the most distinguished wineries in Argentina and home of the most acclaimed Malbec has acquired Melipal Winery located in Agrelo, Mendoza. Terms of transaction were not disclosed.
Achaval Ferrer, one of the pioneers in bringing the Malbec varietal to the world, was founded in 1998 and quickly rose to become one of Argentina’s first “cult” wineries. Established in Mendoza, Achaval Ferrer has implemented a long-standing commitment to the highest international standards of sustainable viticulture with a complete environmental plan and corporate social responsibility program that results in the highest quality wines, as evidenced by scores in the 90s across all offerings by respected wine critic, Robert Parker.
The acquisition of Melipal winery and vineyards complements the superb assets of Achaval Ferrer and enables a capacity to enter new markets. As part of the acquisition comes the exceptional “Las Nazarenas” Malbec vineyard planted in 1923, which reinforces the commitment of the bodega to produce unique wines.
