Bodega & Cavas de Weinert was founded by Don Bernardo Weinert, a Brasilian of German origins, in Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza. Fascinated with the wine world, Don Bernardo Weinert decided to buid his own winery in Argentina with an unconditional approach: to produce high quality wines.Before getting involved in such task, he carried out an extensive study of Mendoza´s weather, soil and vines; and he found in Luján de Cuyo the perfect place for his business. After a difficult process of restoration of the building acquired in 1974, he brought the latest technology for the wine production and he joined with Rául de la Mota, who was known worldwide for being the father of modern winemaking in Argentina, and who was also named the best oenologist of the 20th century in Argentina.In 1996, Hubert Weber, a Swiss oenologist became part of the winery. With only 27 years old he became Bodega & Cavas de Weinert main oenologist till the present.Don Bernardo Weinert is a man whose business philosophy is very simple: "As long as you have your own philosophy and keep it over the years, you will be well on the way."
