Summary
RJ Vinedos is a family owned winery run by it’s founder, Raul Joffre, and his four daughters. The winery began in 1996 when Raul purchased and refurbished a traditional cement tank winery in the Perdriel region of Lujan de Cuyo and a small vineyard in the Los Sauces region of the Uco Valley. They now have 60 hectares in the Uco Valley as well as holdings in Alto Agrelo and up north in the Calchaquíes Valley, Salta. Their vineyards are sustainably farmed, and no chemicals are used in either the vineyards or the winery. Winemaker Sebastián San Martin has a minimalistic approach.He believes in letting the grapes have their own voice and looks for purity of fruit with little intervention. They produce the Reunion and MDZ wines as well as a series of reserve wines.
