Vintage time at Achaval Ferrer winery, Mendoza, Argentina - a short film

Here's a short film from my visit to Argentina in March. It's vintage time at one of Mendoza's leading boutique producers, Achaval Ferrer. We get to see the press, the winery (where wine is being racked and returned) and then a small segment of the tasting with Santiago Achaval.

the best cellar and wines from sud-america in my opinion and a great chance to work for Santiago in the harvest from now 2005.

It must have been interesting doing the harvest there. I agree: these are Argentina's best wines, IMHO. The winemaking there seems to bring out the elegance in Malbec, whereas so many are seemingly trying to make something bigger and sweeter, which seems the wrong way to go. Santiago is a bright, articulate, and open guy.
