Qaramy

Uco Valley

Overview

Qaramy means "poetry" in the ancient quechua language, a native South American language spoken primarily in the Andes. The name symbolizes the winery's expression of loyalty, tradition and commitment to its terrior and wines.

With vineyards located at the foot of the Andes in Tunuyan, the dry and stony soils and high-altitude sunlight gives the grapes a unique strength and personality. The winery is managed by a father-son team, Mario and Leonardo Bromberg. When they started this project, they were originally only selling their grapes; Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah all grown in their vineyards located about 3,000 feet above sea level. Each bottle of wine is meant to be an expression of the poetry of the land and of their ancestors.

They were consistently praised for the high level of quality of their grapes and therefore, they decided to begin using 10% of their grapes to create small lots of their own wines under the label Qaramy. In their first vintage year of 2005 they produced 39,000 bottles of two wines. Today they have six wines in their portfolio; three blends, two pure Malbecs and a pure Cabernet Sauvignon. In the second half of 2008 they built a small winery on their property, which truly solidified their commitment to not only being quality growers but also producers.
