Fine Terroir Selections added new wines from Mendoza, Argentina’s Mi Terruño: Uvas Malbec 2018, Uvas Reserve Malbec 2016, Uvas Reserve Bonarda 2016, Expresión Sauvignon Blanc 2019 and Expresión Cabernet Franc 2016. Mi Terruño, which means “my terroir,” is managed by the brothers-and-sister trio of Commercial Director Gabriel Baigorria, Winemaker Maria Eugenia Baigorria and Logistics and Operations Director Ignacio Baigorria, whose family has been involved in Mendoza’s wine industry since 1960 – first with the purchase of their own vineyards and later in 2004 with their own winery. Under Maria Eugenia’s guidance, Mi Terruño wines are driven by the unique expression of their own terroir, embodying the grapes. Located in the town of San Roque, Maipú, the winery was retrofitted from an old glass tile factory, combining new technology with traditional winemaking techniques.
