Gen del Alma began in 2011 when five wine loving friends planted a 7 hectare vineyard in Gualtallary at 1400 meters above sea level on alluvial soils composed of calcium carbonate and granite. The group began making wine in a small winery built in 1952 in the town of Tupungato where they work with concrete vats, concrete eggs and amphorae made from local sand and stone. Matias Prieto farms the vineyards and makes the wines.  His pioneering work helped start a trend in Argentina towards fresher and more high toned wines.  Fun, light, and bright, we work with an unfiltered Chenin Blanc that comes from Villa Seca, in Tunuyan, as well as a red wine, a blend of Pinot Noir and Malbec that is carbonic macerated, and comes from the estate vineyards in Gualtallary.
