Finca Suarez

Our project was developed on land chosen by our grandfather, engineer Leopoldo Suárez, at the start of the last century.
He created a story and developed his idea upon what was once a desert, discarded by migrants of those times.
For four generations we’ve been connected to the land and worked in this beautiful place.
We aim to make wines that talk about our vineyards, about the mountains, limestone soils, about warm days and cool nights, and our story in this place.
