Following the advices of Michel Rolland, Finca Sophenia has made its dream true: preparing great wines, in a genuinely unique “terroir” located at the foothills of the Andes.
Finca SOPHENIA´s goals aim at the recognition as one of the top quality wine producers from Argentina.
To achieve its goals, Roberto Luka the main shareholder, put together the foundations for quality building; The People, The Terroir, The Vineyards, and The Winery. |
ARGENTINA, Tupungato at the slopes of the Andes. This place encompasses an ideal microclimate for the slow ripening of fruits, with a sharp contrast between daytime and nighttime temperatures, which allows the wine to find its utmost expression. In this area, within this privileged “terroir”, Finca Sophenia’s wines are born.
This region is the highest in altitude, reaching 1,400m.a.s.l. in the North region of Tupungato. It’s situated at 34 degrees South latitude and there’s a wide temperature range between the minimum and the maximum, averaging 59F degrees. This helps red varieties to develop their tannins and good color; and whites to develop the right acidity. The soils in this region are alluvial, stony and well drained. |
