Overview

Matias Mayol comes from a Spanish grape producing family and his memories of his grandfather sharing wine with him at the dinner table were the inspiration for him to start his own winery. In 1989 Matias and his father bought land in the Uco Valley and started producing grapes, soon becoming one of the most important grape producers for high altitude wineries in Mendoza.

Having always been surrounded by wine, Matias decided in 2003 to pursue his dream of creating his own winery. The winery, Familia Mayol, is in Tupungato, a stunning part of the Uco Valley which overlooks Tupungato volcano. The winery makes Malbec and Bonarda as single varietals, a blend (which changes every year), and single vineyard Malbecs.

Wine to try: Their two single vineyard Malbecs show you a nice comparison between Malbec made at high altitude, and Malbec made from old vines.
