進口代理─阿根廷─「CASA YAGUE」葡萄酒

Casa Yague is a winery of premium wines located in one of the most extreme regions for Argentine viticulture: the Trevelin Valley, in the province of Chubut in the Patagonian region. 

Its vineyards are located 330 meters above sea level, on the banks of Futaleufu River and in the center of a fertile valley, surrounded by mountains of around 2000 meters high. Casa Yague produces premium wines from the Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Cabernet Franc and Pinot Noir strains, in limited quantities. Currently, its production is 3,500 bottles per year and its business plan forecasts a gradual increase, year after year, until reaching 40,000 bottles in 2026. 

The winery is working to obtain the organic wine certification since its agronomic practices are supervised by the National Service of Agri-Food Health and Quality (SENASA) in the monthly controls carried out on the vineyard.

INTI's professionals have performed a sensory analysis of their wines and the results led to a favorable opinion that enabled Trevelin to be recognized as an area with legal protection for the wines produced there, in order to value their quality and distinctive characteristics. "Our vineyards are close to the limit of what is possible, as they are in a zone with extreme cold weather, at the south of Parallel 43," said Marcelo Yague, President of the winery.

These conditions make it possible to produce superior quality grapes and wines from the Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc strains with unique characteristics due to the concentration of fragrances and flavors that are only achievable thanks to the wide thermal amplitude, of more than 30 degrees Celsius between night and day (from 0 to 30 °C), even with frosts that can fall in midsummer. 

Casa Yague exports to Europe and Uruguay. And it aims at entering the United Kingdom, the United States, Brazil, and Peru with wines of the Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Franc, and Pinot Noir varieties. 

Casa Yague's wines exceed the expected typical varietals such as Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Noir. They are different wines, with a natural acidity that provides freshness and balance, with low alcohol by volume -between 11.5 and 12%-, fruity and aromatic. 

"We are a family business that seeks excellence in all processes to achieve the highest quality and to compete in 'the major leagues' with unique, different, and hard-to-forget wines. We are pioneers in a region that has no wine history and this is something quite exciting," concluded the owner of Yague winery.
