Adrián Manchón

Coming Up

At Bodega Cuvelier Los Andes in Vista Flores, Tunuyán, Mendoza, Argentina, the work of the First Winemaker and General Manager sits between cellar decisions and estate oversight. Adrián Manch holds that position across a 55-hectare property that is read as a set of smaller sites rather than one uniform block, with each part of the land treated on its own terms. The result is a practice shaped by close observation, technical discipline, and the demands of translating site into wine without flattening its differences.

Where They Are Now

At Cuvelier Los Andes in Vista Flores, Tunuyán, Uco Valley, Mendoza, Argentina, Adrián Manch serves as Winemaker and General Manager, a role that combines daily work in the cellar with responsibility for the wider property. He is also named as lead winemaker at Cuvelier Los Andes in Mendoza, Argentina, keeping his position central to the estate’s identity and output. On the property itself, the 55 hectares have been studied parcel by parcel, with individual hectares identified through laboratory testing. That approach puts micro-terroirs at the center of the work: the vineyard is not treated as a single mass, but as a set of distinct sections that require separate attention. Under Manch, the language of the site is technical and exact, built on careful reading rather than broad generalization.

Signature

Grand Malbec, Grand Vin, Colección, Malbec Rosé, and Cuvée Natur make up Manch’s named signature wines at Cuvelier Los Andes. Together, they show a range that moves across red wine, rosé, and cuvée, while remaining tied to the same estate and its way of working. With Adrián Manch in the roles of First Winemaker and General Manager, these wines reflect both the character of the property and the coordination needed to keep a house style coherent.

In Their Words “We have these micro-terroirs on our property. There are 55 hectares of property, and each hectare has its own distinct terroir that we have identified through laboratory testing.” The quote gives a direct account of Manch’s method: the estate is understood in parts, not as a single undivided whole. For a winemaker, that means reading difference at parcel level and letting those distinctions guide the work in the cellar as well as the way the property is described.
