Winemaker's Background:

Founded in 2004 by the Baigorria family, Mi Terruño is a family-owned winery in San Roque, Maipú. The estate vineyards, planted on alluvial soils with drip irrigation, thrive in Mendoza’s dry, sunny climate that promotes optimal grape ripening. With a philosophy centered on expressing terroir, the name Mi Terruño, “my terroir”, reflects the winery’s commitment to authenticity. Today, the winery is managed by siblings Gabriel (commercial director) and María Eugenia Baigorria (winemaker). Their sustainable practices, from hand-picking to rigorous fruit selection, ensure wines of precision and integrity that capture the essence of Mendoza.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve at 60–64 °F in a Bordeaux-style glass. This Cabernet Sauvignon pairs beautifully with seasoned pork, roast lamb with mint sauce, or hearty vegetable stews. Its bold flavors and velvety texture make it equally enjoyable on its own or alongside rich, savory dishes.

The 2021 Mi Terruño Uvas Cabernet Sauvignon embodies the elegance and strength of Mendoza, showcasing a family’s dedication to terroir-driven winemaking.
