Del Fin Del Mundo Ventus Red 2016

The sound of splitting timber and crashing rock. The terrifying din of screaming animals. Such was the apocalyptic cacophony that woke inhabitants of Neuquén some years ago, racking them with horror, certain as they were it was Del Fin Del Mundo: the End of the World.

Actually, it was just Manuello. For months he'd suffered terrible dyspepsia. All that rich food, those heaps of good Argentinian beef. When the indigestion finally gave, the resulting 'Ventus', or wind, was brief, but astonishing. Fearing lest Manuello placed himself and the locals in such predicament again, a local doctor prescribed him a soft, youthful, unoaked red to combat the complaint. It is available today, to all.

Bodega del Fin del Mundo is the first winery in the Province of Neuquén and is currently the largest producer of wines in Patagonia. They focus their winemaking and agricultural work on producing high quality wines whilst caring for the environment and community in which they grow their grapes.

Marcelo Miras, Chief Winemaker since 2003, graduated with a diploma in Oenology and Horticulture Industry from the University Juan Agustin Maza in Mendoza. He likes to experiment with the development of different grape varieties using the Patagonial soils and has gone on to lecture at the University Juan Augustin Maza and the National University of Rio Negro.
