The combination of local wines and dishes can enhance the taste and experience of the consumer, which can increase the appreciation and knowledge of the wines, “said Andreu, Hospitality Manager of Bandini farm, Bodega located in the gates in Luján de Cuyo, and which has a brand new gastronomic space.

He also added that organic wines represent much more than a chemical -free product. They imply an integral vision of viticulture, which contemplates the care of the ecosystem and soil regeneration; the health and well -being of the consumer; The commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.
For its part, that a wine is Vegan It implies that some food additive of animal origin is not used at any time, a trend that is gaining more and more adherents.
Regarding the evolution of the organic wines market, the winemaker said: “It is estimated that the volume of elaboration and consumption of organic wine from here to 6 years will be doubled. There are countries where governments begin to opt for policies that are on this path, supporting or subsidizing agricultural productions that are sustainable.”

The Bioodynamic viticulture Not only does it seek to avoid the use of chemicals, but it is also based on a holistic vision of agriculture, considering the vineyard as an autonomous ecosystem.
Facundo Bonamaizon, agronomist of the winery Chakanaexplained: “Biodineamic wines are one step beyond organic wines (organic certification is mandatory to certify biodynamic), it is added that we must treat the vineyard as if it were a closed system, that is, it does not depend on inputs that are external to the vineyard and that it is sustainable, in addition to a holistic look.”
About his character, he stressed that “in general they are Very complex wines And that surely the place of origin and harvest reflects better since it has a lot of practices that tend to exalt already restrict the makeup processes that many wines usually have. ”In terms of the flavor they are more balanced wines, without exacerbating any of the components that make the taste of the wine and the structure will depend more about the place of origin.”The word balance I think it defines biodynamic wines well”He said.
While these wines are beginning to position themselves, for the moment the demand is niche: “For now in Argentina the demand of these wines is limited since people do not know much and there is much prejudice about organic and biodynamic wines for quality reasons in the external market, as this is already much more naturalized, it is more demanded,” Bonamaizon concluded.
