km away from Mendoza City. Built in 1928, the original winery had a
7,900,000 liter producing capacity which was drastically reduced to

At the age of 20, Jacinto Jaure arrived to the US in the 60´s,
looking for adventure, new cultures and different lifestyles.
Leaving behind his beloved hometown – Mendoza, he would
begin his long journey towards a productive future. He worked
diligently in various fields, in the hopes of making his dream
come true. With time and effort, he became acquainted with
American habits, idiosyncrasy and lifestyle. He narrated stories
about his beloved Mendoza, its vineyards, its mountains and
its wines. He would also explain how wine was produced and
drunk habitually and how it was considered a noble, pure and
natural beverage. The existing wine-drinking habits in the
US at the time were quite different from the present ones.
Wine would be served in some restaurants and bars and not
consumed by families at the dinner table.
