Producer Information

Trivento Bodegas y Viñedos is a large Argentinian wine company. It makes a range of different brands of wine from vineyards in Mendoza, from some of the company’s most famous grape varieties, including Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Bonarda and Chardonnay. Trivento, or “three winds”, takes its name from the Polar, Zonda and Sudestada winds that blow across Mendoza. The business was founded in 1996 with a winery and a 154 hectare (380 acre) vineyard in Maipú named Los Vientos. There are now around 1500 hectares (3700 acres) of vines across eight properties in Mendoza, from Finca Los Indios near San Carlos up to Finca Tres Porteñas, just east of Mendoza city. An art and wine tourism facility was opened at Trivento’s winery in 2011. Eolo, named after Aeolus, the mythical Greek keeper of the winds, is the flagship wine. It is a single-vineyard Malbec from a site in Luján de Cuyo that rises around 3300ft (1000m) above sea level on the northern bank of the Mendoza river. However, Trivento makes a wide range of other wines under various other brand names. The Golden Reserve and Reserve series are both made up of single-variety wines from Malbec, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
