Antigal Collection

The Renaissance of a Historic Icon Dating its foundations back to 1897 in Maipú, Antigal Winery & Estates represents a breathtaking marriage of historical legacy and cutting-edge New World winemaking. The estate was beautifully reborn in 2000, when its founders completely restored the original 19th-century winery, preserving its historic brickwork while integrating a state-of-the-art cellar facility. This relentless commitment to quality and contemporary precision was recognized globally when Antigal was named "New World Winery of the Year" by Wine Enthusiast. Today, Antigal is celebrated for crafting elegant, site-specific wines that trade overpowering alcohol for balanced, multi-layered complexity.

High-Altitude Terroir & Interpretive Viticulture Antigal’s primary estate vineyards are located in the prized, high-altitude microclimates of the Uco Valley—specifically in Tupungato, Gualtallary, and La Arboleda—perched at an average elevation of 1,100 meters above sea level.

• The Glacial Andes Influence: High altitude guarantees intense solar radiation, which thickens grape skins (adding color and tannin), while cool alpine nights preserve a crisp, driving natural acidity.

• The Gravitational Touch: To protect the delicate, hand-harvested fruit, the winery was retrofitted with an advanced, completely gravity-flow system. This allows the grapes to move through crushing, fermentation, and barrel aging without mechanical pumps, safeguarding the fruit's pure aromatics and preventing harsh seed tannin extraction.

• A Sustainable Mission: Certified in sustainability by Bodegas de Argentina, Antigal utilizes nature-friendly viticulture and organic farming methods to ensure their pristine soils are preserved for generations.

A Portfolio of Distinction From everyday sensory delights to allocated, single-vineyard masterpieces, our Antigal collection spans the winery’s highly acclaimed tiers:

• The UNO Series: The instantly recognizable flagship line, famous for its heavy bottle adorned with a hand-affixed, antiqued metal numeral "1". Led by the silky, plum-and-violet-scented UNO Malbec, this tier also features crisp, mountain-fresh Chardonnay and a beautifully balanced, herbal-touched Cabernet Sauvignon.

• UNO Platinum Edition: Sourced from ultra-select plots, these limited-release wines (including highly rated Cabernet Franc and Malbec) deliver enhanced structure, deeper mineral depth, and refined French oak maturation.

• Aduentus (The Arrival): Highly structured, age-worthy blends (like the Aduentus Classic and Petit Blend) that combine Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Malbec into complex, savory, and graphite-driven masterpieces.

• ONE (Single Vineyard Elite): The crown jewel of the estate. Sourced entirely from exceptional single vineyards (such as La Dolores and Doña Angeles), these ultra-premium, block-specific wines showcase the absolute peak of what Mendoza's volcanic, gravel-heavy soils can achieve.

The Gastronomic Blueprint Antigal's signature balance of ripe, concentrated dark fruit and vibrant, natural acidity makes them spectacular partners for the dining table.

• UNO Malbec and Red Blends: The ultimate partner for classic Argentine asado (wood-grilled beef), pan-seared ribeye steaks, rosemary-crusted lamb chops, or rich empanadas.

• UNO Chardonnay & Sauvignon Blanc: Exceptional with flame-roasted poultry, buttery grilled seafood, garlic-prawn pastas, or soft, creamy goat cheeses.
