Tell me more . . .
Ricardo Santos began his career not in winemaking, but as an architect. Soon, his passion for wine and the belief that Argentina could compete in the world market led him to winemaking. Ricardo was the first person to export Argentine Malbec to the U.S.-over thirty years ago! While Ricardo built his reputation on Malbec, he has always wanted to make a crisp fruity white wine to pair with foods. He was inspired by the Semillon grapes grown by his friend and neighbor Roberto Azzareto in his 70 year old vineyard.- - Jeff Prather
