Introducing Gauchezco
The name Gauchezco draws inspiration from the term gaucho, describing the iconic Argentine cowboy who lives and breathes the land. Eric Arnesi, the passionate owner of Gauchezco and a self-proclaimed ‘Colorado cowboy’, embodies this spirit to the core.
The legendary Gauchezco estate was founded in 1881 by the Governor of Mendoza, Tiburcio Benegas. In 2007, 27 year old Eric embarked on a mission to revive the historic vinyard to its former glory. Despite finding the estate in disarray, Eric saw its hidden potential. With unwavering passion and relentless determination, Eric rolled up his sleeves and set about transforming the overgrown land into the flourishing vineyard it is today.
Surrounded by oak forests and housed in a barn that has witnessed decades of wine-making, Gauchezco maintains an artisanal approach. Their wines are crafted without shortcuts, ensuring they remain true to grape. Eric proudly states, “We truly take what the vines give us – no lab approach – no chemical substitutes.”.
Not to mention, Gauchezco also places a strong emphasis on sustainable practices. Eric's philosophy is simple yet profound: to respect the land and let its natural abundance shine through in every bottle. To ensure the soil's nutrients replenish naturally, Eric plants various grasses between the vines. Moreover, instead of using harmful chemicals, Eric opts for organic fertilisers like goats manure. Some vines, now as thick as trees, stand as a testament to the vineyard's careful cultivation.
But don't just take our word for it... Eric's dedication has earned Gauchezco some serious accolades. Their Reserve Malbec 2016 scored 92 points from American wine critic James Suckling, and the estate was featured in Master of Wine, Tim Atkin's 'Top 200 Argentinian Wine Producers Guide' for 2020.
