Atamisque winery was founded in 2002 with 70 hectares of some of Tupungato’s best vineyards in the heart of the Uco Valley. The winery is owned by Frenchman John Du Monceau and his wife Chantal, whose grandfather was a winemaker in Burgundy. The couple’s French elegance shines through in the wines which all have great purity, finesse and fruit character. A unique characteristic of Atamisque is its stony roof, made out of slate that provides perfect insulation. The design of the winery was based on gravity flow to avoid the use of pumps and minimize wine stress. Today Atamisque has a total of 700 hectares, including the winery and vineyards, Rincon Atamisque restaurant, Atamisque trout farm, a par-3 golf course, luxurious mountain lodges and a tourism welcome house. Atamisque is the name of an aboriginal tree that grows naturally in the winery’s surroundings.
