Bodega Renacer
Perdriel, Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza Province
Founded by in 2003 by Patricio Reich, with the collaboration of world-renowned winemaker Alberto
Antonini, Bodega Renacer prides itself in bringing consumers the very best wines from Mendoza’s unique
terroirs
. The winery structure itself is quite impressive, featuring a medieval tower built of rocks, Tuscan-
style walls and state-of-the-art winemaking equipment.
The Renacer and Los Patos vineyards are located in Perdriel, known locally as Primeira Zona—the home
to Mendoza’s original vineyards, where the soil, altitude, climate and water come together to create the
perfect growing environment for Malbec. In addition to Renacer’s 85+ acres of Malbec vines, the winery
also purchases grapes from local producers in order to take advantage of the region’s many
terroirs
—
those in the Uco Valley, Lujan de Cuyo and Medrano. Vineyards used for Renacer’s bottlings are more
than fifty years old and have very low yields. Renacer Punto Final, meaning “final period” or “full stop,”
symbolizes the point at which the Bodega Renacer winemaking team has accomplished their common
goal: a truly outstanding wine.
From the beginning, Renacer has had a firm commitment to the environment by managing the full impact
of winemaking. This has included everything from utilizing the water that runs down from the Andes
Mountains to offsetting the carbon footprint of delivering bottles to store shelves. Renacer is proud to be
the first Argentine winery to have its logistics certified CarbonNeutral®.
Renacer Punto Final Malbec Clásico
Malbec Clásico expresses the vast potential of Mendoza’s
terroir
and represents a blend of Malbec grapes
from different regions, altitudes and climates. Sourced from vineyards within Perdriel, the resulting
wine incorporates the best of each unique
terroir
. The wine is fermented in stainless steel to preserve
the wonderful fruit aromas and flavors, but aged with just a touch of French oak to add structure and
complexity. Dark ruby red in color with violet tones, this Malbec has aromas of red currants, blackberries,
and plums, with notes of pepper and clove. Flavors of black cherries, red and black currants, and juicy
plums fill the mouth with hints of wood spice and vanilla on the finish.

Renacer Punto Final Cabernet Sauvignon
Handcrafted with grapes from Renacer’s low-yielding estate vineyard in Perdriel, a sub-region of Luján de
Cuyo. The wine (90 percent Cabernet Sauvignon and 10 percent Cabernet Franc) is fermented in stainless
steel and is aged one year in French oak. This Cabernet is a bright ruby red in color and has aromas of
blackberries and cassis with spicy notes of green peppercorns and eucalyptus. On the palate, notes of
vanilla and sweet spice from the oak aging underscore flavors of juicy black cherries and plums. Overall,
the wine is elegant with a lingering finish and a bright acidity.
