Goudge – San Rafael – Mendoza – Argentina
An outstanding agricultural and wine-producing estate located in the district of Goudge, San Rafael, Mendoza, one of Argentina’s most renowned wine regions, recognized worldwide for producing premium-quality wines.
The estate comprises a total area of 193.8 hectares (478.9 acres), with excellent year-round access and a strategic location just 24 km (15 miles) from the city of San Rafael and 250 km (155 miles) from the city of Mendoza. The property benefits from irrigation water rights supplied by the Diamante River through Canal No. 4, as well as substantial on-site water infrastructure that ensures reliable water availability for current operations and future expansion.
