When, on April 17th 1853, Malbec was approved for planting in Mendoza, little did they know the effect this humble grape would have on our country.
Here, at the foot of the Andes, a variety most renowned in Europe for being hard and impenetrable mellowed to produce the soft, fruit filled, elegant wines we see from Argentina today - in the process becoming one of our most treasured national icons.

BODEGAS RIOJANAS - More than a century of winemaking tradition
The Artacho family had a deep wine tradition when in 1890 they founded Bodegas Riojanas together with Rafael Carreras. Signs of this tradition are the stone door built in 1799 to provide access to the family vineyards and is now preserved at the entrance to our winery, and very specially the prizes awarded to their wines before that foundation, as the golden of the Universal Exposition in Barcelona in 1888.
