Bodega Poesia

Bodega Poesia is a wine produced from 13 hectares of one of the oldest vineyards in Mendoza, Argentina. Planted with ungrafted Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon vines dating back to 1935, the Bodega Poesia estate is located in the heart of Luján de Cuyo, a historic region widely recognized as the “primera zona” for Argentine Malbec.

Traditional vineyard management at Bodega Poesia is environmentally friendly; no pesticides or herbicides are used. Low yields and hand-harvesting help preserve the grapes’ natural qualities. Bodega Poesia wines are vinified in small wooden and stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation and 18 months of aging in new French oak barrels specially imported from Bordeaux contribute to the creation of this rare product.

Bodega Poesia wines are blends made from grapes grown on a single estate, from vines planted on a clay-loam terroir with gravel in the subsoil. Hélène Garcin and Patrice Lévêque, the owners, aim to reveal the identity of this terroir through this meticulous process, just as the Garcin family does for their Bordeaux grands crus: Clos l’Eglise in Pomerol, Châteaux Branon and Haut-Bergey in Pessac-Léognan, and Château Barde-Haut in Saint-Émilion.
