Founded by Patricio Reich, with the collaboration of world-renowned winemaker Alberto Antonini, Bodega Renacer prides itself in bringing consumers the very best wines from South America’s unique terroirs. The winery structure itself is quite impressive, featuring a medieval tower built of rocks with state-of-the-art winemaking equipment. Renacer’s vineyards are located in Perdriel, a unique zone in Mendoza, Argentina, where the soil, altitude, climate and water come together to create the perfect growing environment for Malbec. In addition to Renacer’s more than 35 hectares of Malbec vines, the winery also purchases grapes from local producers in order to take advantage of Mendoza’s many terroirs — those in the Uco Valley, Lujan de Cuyo and Medrano.
Vineyards used for Renacer’s bottlings are more than 50 years old and have very low yields. Through hundreds of years of trial-and-error experimentation, French winemakers have recognized that certain areas within a single vineyard produce grapes with different characteristics than other areas within that same vineyard. Thus, fruit from different sections within one vineyard, farmed the same way, harvested at the same time by the same method, and produced into wine with the same technique, can be dramatically different.
The soils play a significant role in these differences for each unique terroir within a vineyard. Due to natural geological processes, soil properties can vary over distances as small as a few meters. Recognition of these small-scale variations within a vineyard can lead to wines that better reflect the terroir. Precision viticulture is an indispensable method to work the soil according to its true potential. Renacer determines these variations using digital maps obtained by Electromagnetic Conductivity Measures (ECM). The system registers 1,000 readings per hectare, which are then precisely stored and evaluated by computer and GPS to obtain their exact location within the vineyard. The result is a detailed map of the soil for precise vineyard optimization. This map allows Renacer to divide vineyards into homogeneous areas that are treated similarly in terms of irrigation and harvest time.

WINEMAKING PROCESS
1st Step | The grapes from our 2 vienyards are fermented together in stainless steal tanks with a classic fermentation : 3days of maceration at 8°C followed by a 15 days fermentation at temperature between 22 and 26°C with native yeast. These allow us to obtain a fruity and aromatic Malbec.
2nd Step | for the realisation of our Milamore wine, we naturally dried some grapes of Malbec. After the fermentation of the raisins in stainless steal tanks we drain the wine Milamore and leave the raisins in the tanks.
3rd Step | we add the fruity wine on the raisins skins. A 2nd fermentation happens because of the residual sugar in the raisins. During that fermentation we can increase the body, the colour, the extraction, the aromas and the alcoholic content of the wine. It becomes more suited for a long aging in French oak barrels, where it remains for 4 months. The ageing in the bottle is at least 4 months before release.
