Bodega Renacer Perdriel, Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza Province

Founded by in 2003 by Patricio Reich, with the collaboration of world-renowned winemaker Alberto Antonini, Bodega Renacer prides itself in bringing consumers the very best wines from Mendoza’s unique terroirs. The winery structure itself is quite impressive, featuring a medieval tower built of rocks, Tuscan- style walls and state-of-the-art winemaking equipment. The Renacer and Los Patos vineyards are located in Perdriel, known locally as Primeira Zona—the home to Mendoza’s original vineyards, where the soil, altitude, climate and water come together to create the perfect growing environment for Malbec. In addition to Renacer’s 85+ acres of Malbec vines, the winery also purchases grapes from local producers in order to take advantage of the region’s many terroirs— those in the Uco Valley, Lujan de Cuyo and Medrano. Vineyards used for Renacer’s bottlings are more than fifty years old and have very low yields. Renacer Punto Final, meaning “final period” or “full stop,” symbolizes the point at which the Bodega Renacer winemaking team has accomplished their common goal: a truly outstanding wine. From the beginning, Renacer has had a firm commitment to the environment by managing the full impact of winemaking. This has included everything from utilizing the water that runs down from the Andes Mountains to offsetting the carbon footprint of delivering bottles to store shelves. Renacer is proud to be the first Argentine winery to have its logistics certified CarbonNeutral®. Renacer Punto Final Malbec Clásico Malbec Clásico expresses the vast potential of Mendoza’s terroir and represents a blend of Malbec grapes from different regions, altitudes and climates.

Renacer Milamore An exciting, innovative wine produced from a blend of Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Bonarda and uniquely dried and vinified in the Amarone style. The grapes that produce Milamore are sourced from 50+ years old vines located in three distinct high-altitude vineyards from the Mendoza region in Argentina. The grapes are dried on the vines (appassimento), until they loose 1|3 of their weight. After a prolonged fermentation (both alcoholic and malolactic) the wine is aged in new French barriques for 12 months. 2015 : 92 JS, 90 WA, 90 V
