History & legacy
The house, its origin.
Alfa Crux was founded in 2000 with Spanish roots (originally O. Fournier, later Grupo Doña Paula and others). Over its history the house has built an identity of its own within the Uco Valley winemaking landscape, sustaining a commitment to quality and consistency in every harvest. Its trajectory reflects the evolution of Argentine wine, from traditional roots to contemporary premium projects.

Terroir & vineyards
The place makes the wine.
Alfa Crux's vineyards sit at around 1,200 metres (La Consulta) in the Uco Valley, one of Mendoza's most acclaimed wine regions. Stony alluvial soils and the direct influence of the Andes create a microclimate of pronounced temperature swings, ideal for Argentina's classic red varietals. Its speciality: high-altitude Tempranillo and Malbec.
