Patagonia is considered one of Argentina's most beautiful places and for wine makers it offers fertile soil, numerous hours of sun and abundant water. In this privileged setting Bodega Del Río Elorza was born, a realization of a combined dream between two families - the 'Del Rio' family and the 'Elorza' family.
Led by internationally renowned wine maker Alberto Antonini and local wine maker Mariano Vignoni, their experience and understanding of this unique Patagonian terroir impart great personality in the wines. The Verum wines from Bodega Del Rio Elorza mirror the beauty and splendour found in the scenery from which they are grown - Patagonia, one of Argentina's most impressive natural environments.
