CARA SUR is a small winery formed in 2011 as a partnership between two couples who were inspired to revive ancestral vines and produce wines from traditional Argentine varietals.
Sebastián Zuccardi and Marcela Manini teamed up with Nuria Año Gargiulo and Pancho Burgallo, an avid mountaineering couple who live in Barreal, in the Calingasta de San Juan Valley, north of Mendoza. This spirit of mountaineering is represented in the name: Cara Sur means "south face" and refers to the more difficult approach of Cerro Mercedario, one of the highest peaks in Argentina, which can be seen from Barreal , the birthplace of Pancho and Nuria.
The quartet produces wines from Moscatel, Moscatel Tinto, Bonarda, Barbera and Criolla Chica. The vineyard is located along the Los Patos River in Barreal on stony ground 1500 meters above sea level. The vines were trained on a Parral, or pergola: a ceiling trellis system that provides shade and maximizes air circulation.
Owned and managed by two generations of the McLachlan family, Mohua Wines combines a talent and love for great winemaking with a desire to preserve and enhance the land from which it came. Driven by the desire to create sustainable wines from some of the best grape varieties in the southern hemisphere.
Central Otago's long, dry autumns are the perfect place to produce an iconic pinot noir. The region's wide daytime temperature range is complemented by extremely favorable soil and microbiota conditions, resulting in fruit that captures the unique feel of this rugged and dramatic region.

Distributed on both sides of the “Le Serein” river, the appellation's vines extend over 17 communes.
