The
winery, located in the center of the vineyard, is involved
in the complete process of wine production, from the reception
of the harvest to the distribution of the wine.
The
company concentrates its efforts on producing Fine Wines,
sold under the "Goyenechea", "Marques del
Nevado" and "Vasconia" brand names.
Obtaining
the highest quality in our wines requires having our own
estate grown grapes. We do not depend on the purchase
of grapes from small growers; thereby avoiding variations
in the quality of the grapes that we use. Our winemakers,
in collaboration with the managers, concentrate on quality,
investigating different ways to stand out: selection of
stocks of leavenings and bacteria; relation of colour/extract;
techniques of "délestage" in fermentation;
influences of the systems of conduction of the grapevine;
etc.
The
storage capacity of the winery is 14 million litres with
about a million litres in barrels of French oak. The aging
in the bottle takes place in the winery and/or in our
warehouse in Buenos Aires (Federal Capital of Argentina).
Wine production combines craftsman's spirit, passed down
for centuries,
with worldwide recognized modern techniques. The Goyenechea
objective is to obtain a balance between cost and quality,
and between artisan tradition and technology. To achieve
it, we lean on the specialization and qualification of
our employees, many of whom have inherited their work
in the company from their parents.
The
vinification is separately made for each varietal and section
of
