Traditional wines of Mendoza: Escorihuela

Don Miguel Escorihuela Gascón started his winery at the end of the 18th century, and is one of the most historic in Mendoza. Don Miguel moved to Mendoza from Spain when he was 19 years old, and though he had no money when he arrived, four years later he bought 42 acres of land and started planting his vineyard. Remnants of the wineries history are in the huge barrel from 1910 displayed in the winery as well as an interesting series of photos chronicling the history of the winery.

Wines for export include the Don Miguel Gascón line including varietals: Malbec, Viognier, Syrah, and Sangiovese.
