Producer Information: La Celia

La Celia, established in 1890 in the Uco Valley of Mendoza, Argentina, stands as a pioneer in the region’s winemaking history, being the first winery to plant Malbec vines in this now-celebrated terroir. Founded by Eugenio Bustos, who recognized the valley’s unique combination of high-altitude vineyards and alluvial soils, La Celia has built its legacy on harnessing these local attributes to craft wines that express both varietal purity and regional character. The winery is particularly noted for its meticulous vineyard management and gentle vinification techniques that highlight fruit expression while preserving natural freshness. Beyond their flagship Malbecs, La Celia also produces expressive Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah wines that reflect the cool climate of the Uco Valley, further cementing their reputation within Argentina’s premium red wine category.
