Valle Perdido Patagonia Estate Winery Neuquen Province, Argentina Planet Wine Sports and Activities

ABOUT THE VALLE PERDIDO PATAGONIA ESTATE WINERY - in their own words:

THE LEGEND:
Argentina’s Patagonia is well known for its myths and legends. Indigenous peoples and settlers have kept them alive, passing them from generation to generation to preserve a record of their valuable heritage. Amongst the most mysterious legends of the 16th century are those of the Valle Perdido (Lost Valley).

Legend has it that far, far away, at the very end of the earth, in this land of myths and solitude, with its never-ending roads, dreams, and mystery, somewhere in Patagonia, deep in the Valle Perdido (Lost Valley), is the enchanted city, a sacred place that continually inspires the spirit of restless souls. It is said that every Friday at sunset in April, the gleaming domes of the beloved city appear over the horizon of the Valle Perdido. Historians and artist echo on the marvelous tranquility of its waters, the richness of its soil, and the amiable charm of its inhabitants in their work. It is from this legend that our name originates. With our wines, we pay tribute to those who seek their dreams, a Valle Perdido as a metaphor for hope, a name that evokes the permanent pursuit of an ideal, of the infinite Patagonia. Valle Perdido reflects this everlasting unaltered dream in each bottle.

Valle Perdido is a poem addressed to Patagonia and its people.

THE ESTATE:
Embraced by the hills and at approximately 350m above sea level, the estate has a uniquely harmonious geometrical layout. It is located in the Valley of the Neuquén River, in San Patricio del Chañar, at 38° 35´ S, 68° 17´ W in the Argentine Patagonic plateau, 45km northwest of the provincial capital, Neuquén

Of the 450 acres/180 ha, 375/150 are vineyards - mainly Malbec, along with some other grape varieties, planted using the trellis method. Cultivation methods are carried out entirely manually, using traditional artisan techniques.

The plot is surrounded by Spanish windbreaker mesh and tall poplar groves.

Set among vineyards and merged with the winery in an innovative accommodation concept, Valle Perdido Wine Resort combines the spirit of Patagonia with the mysticism of wine.
