The Road to Argentina

Owning 100-year-old vines in Argentina was not always part of our life plan.

Logo of Ciclo Andino in negative

The emblem of CICLO ANDINO, our label, is a testament to the harmony between natures elements and the passion that fuels our craft. The four protective corners of the symbol stand as guardians of our heritage, encapsulating the resilience and robust character of the Malbec grape, cherished and nurtured within the Argentine terroir. At its core, the radiant sun our vintners compass mirrors the boundless expanse of the Andean sky, its warmth coaxing the snow-fed waters to nourish deep-rooted vines. The emblems centrepieces, a fusion of sun and earth and the cycle of life, celebrates the confluence of natural cycles that give life to our vineyard. Its a tribute to the elements that, in their intricate, ever-repeating dance, create a wine as rich and complex as the land it hails from. CICLO ANDINO is more than a wine; it is a bottled homage to the cycles that define us. Crafted for moments of unity, it is intended to be shared with those we hold dear, evoking love and the communal spirit of Argentina with every pour. Our Malbec is an invitation to gather in a circle and revel in the bonds that bring us together, savouring the love that is as deep and enduring as the roots of our vines.
