Founded in 2002 by John and Chantal Du Monceau, located in Tupungato, at the foothills of the Andes Mountains. Atamisque’s name comes from an aboriginal bush that grows naturally inthe region. The wines are produced from the winery’s 70 hectares of vineyards, which provides the highest standard of quality from the vine to the bottle. Respectforthe environment and long-term sustainability were the foundation in the construction of Atamisque, such as designing the winery to be based on gravity flow winemaking to avoid the use of pumps and minimize wine stress and utilizing the local slate in the area as tiling for the roof of the buildings providing perfect insulation and temperature control year-round.

This privileged wine region is regarded by most experts as the best region in the world to produce Malbec wines. Dry summers, harsh winters and a wide temperature range between day and night allow the vines to produce low yields of outstanding quality.
