These organic vineyards are positioned at the foot of the
Andes, irrigated by snow runoff from the mountains above.
The winemaker is dedicated to crafting high quality, earth-
friendly wines perfect for enviro-conscious wine drinkers
who don’t want to compromise taste. Gozzo outshines

Mi Terruño is housed in a former mosaic tile factory in the
San Roque district of Mendoza Province. Their family has
been in the wine business since 1978 and their winery was
developed with the sole mission of bringing the terroir of
Mendoza to a wider audience. They do this with state of
the art equipment that produces a line of wines with a
distinct earthiness and balanced fruit.

Domados’ epic story begins with the current owners’
grandfather, who emigrated from Italy and planted his
vineyards in the 1920s with his old world experience.
Subsequent generations have planted additional vineyards
on their rocky and arid soil, with the most recent in 1990.
They focus on highlighting the terroir of the region, and
their varietals have a characteristic mineral note that
complements the fruit.

Quinta de Santa Eufemia Douro Valley, Portugal

Founded in 1864, Quinta de Santa Eufemia's port tradition
has been passed down through four generations. Great
grand-daughter Alzira Viseu continues her family legacy by
adhering to strict wine making standards while
experimenting with non-traditional flavors and marketing
concepts. For example, Alzira boasts the finest aged white
port in Portugal.
