Our WINEs

NUNUM (nunum) n. Sorcerer [Origin: Huarpe Milkayak]

Before the arrival of the Spaniards, a peaceful tribe of Huarpe Indians inhabited the high valleys surrounding what is now Mendoza. In the foothills of the Andes, the spiritual Huarpe worshiped the gods who created the majesty of their natural world. 

At 3500 ft (1070 meters) our wines express the character of the high-altitude Uco Valley terroir. Rooted firmly in rocky mineral-rich soil, our vines drink crystalline water from the Andean snowfall. Protected by a thick canopy, our grapes mature under the intense sunlight only rarified air can provide. Captured at harvest, these elemental flavors are crafted into wines of distinctive quality.

Our WINEMAKING TEAM

Nunum began making wine alongside Pablo Gimenez Riili, Michael Evans, and Santiago Achával with ten acres of Malbec, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, and Chardonnay. As those vines flourished we added six more acres in 2009 – Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Syrah, Mourvedre, Grenache and Teroldego.

We are committed to sustainable organic farming and ethical practices, from grape to glass.

With the combination of the exceptional Uco Valley terroir and our internationally renowned winemaking team led by Pablo Martorell, Nunum Wines has proven to continuously produce an impressive portfolio of world-class award winning Estate Single Vineyard wines.
