Crios Sustentia wines are the view of the new generations that seek to leave their mark in pursuit of a sustainable and cared-for future, using the same tools as their parents: their hands, which give and receive to then create all over again. Made with organic grapes from our estate in Agrelo, Luján de Cuyo (3,215 ft.), Crios Sustentia Organic Malbec displays varietal and terroir purity, with notes of red berries standing out.

With a strong desire to forge a legacy for her family, Susana Balbo, Argentina’s first female winemaker, created CRIOS wines in honor of her children, José and Ana. The intertwined hands represent those of the three family members and also symbolize valuable tools for creation and action.

Crios has the Susana Balbo winery pillars (courage, bonds and passion for quality) at its core, and it also represents our belief in the TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF HANDS, which allow us to weave bonds, cultivate the land, and craft each wine with love and care.

The Inkarri brand is produced by Proviva Winery, based in the heart of Mendoza, Argentina. Proviva embodies the quest for a wine identity that is both original and authentic. Their estate-grown wines are produced exclusively from organic and Biodynamic vineyards located in the best terroirs of Mendoza. The resulting varietal wines are the purest expression of the region’s outstanding calcareous soils. Organic and Biodynamic agriculture guarantee a viticulture with no inputs, where vines authentically express the character of place.

Inkarri wines are produced from the organic and Biodynamic vineyards in the small village of Agrelo, Lujan de Cuyo, “the home of Malbec.” Agrelo’s terroir is considered to be some of the best in Mendoza for the production of complex red wines made from Malbec. Based in the western foothills of the Andes mountains, the wine-producing zone of Agrelo slopes upward from the town, with slopes reaching more than 3,000 Feet (1000m) above sea level. The region has a dry, desert-like climate, situated in the rain shadow of the Andes. Warm, sunny days are followed by much cooler nights due to cold winds that flow from the snow-capped Andes. This desirable diurnal shift of temperatures extends the ripening period and produces wines with balanced acidity and complex flavor profiles.
