Alfa Crux, formerly O. Fournier, is another bodega located about as far south in Uco Valley as you can get,. We visited for the first time just after our arrival in 2016, before the Agostino Wine Group bought the property and changed the name. Perhaps the best description of their new name, (and also O. Fournier’s original signature wine as well as theirs now) is from their website:
“Named after the brightest star in the mystical Cruz del Sur constellation, ALFA CRUX was designed in perfect harmony with the earth and its magical surroundings.”
The winery’s architecture and setting is a sight to behold of enormous and spectacular scale in every respect. In early 2023 we were treated to a private barrel tasting and their fabulous lunch. We will return again soon without a doubt!
