THE PERFECT PAIRING
Our Restó
If there is one thing in the world that should never be missing alongside a glass of wine, when midday arrives and the sun begins to warm the Mendoza soil, it is a good meal.
With its doors open since 2011, La Azul’s Restó has become an essential part of our winery: a place to enjoy the finest Argentine beef, taste the different wines we produce and, of course, sit back for a while and admire the Cordón del Plata.
1970
Malbec 60% – Cabernet 40%
Azul Gran Reserva
To the eye, it shows a very intense, clear cherry-red hue. On the nose, forest fruits and pepper are perceived, blended with aromas of vanilla, chocolate, butter, and smoke. On the palate, the tannins are pleasant, with good body, complexity, refreshing acidity, and a long finish. Ideal for pairing with well-seasoned dishes, red and game meats, and aged cheeses.
1998/1991
Malbec
Azul Malbec
Violet-red in color, its aromas evoke ripe red fruits such as plums, cherries, and blackberries. On the palate, it offers soft, sweet tannins, medium intensity, and a long finish. It is an ideal wine to pair with cheeses such as Pategrás, Fontina, and Provolone, as well as well-seasoned dishes, red meats, and pasta.
2003/2005
Sauvignon blanc
Azul Sauvignon Blanc
To the eye, it shows a bright yellow color with greenish hues. On the nose, we find intense citrus aromas of pink grapefruit and lime, along with an interesting note of rue. On the palate, it has a fresh citrus entry with intense flavors and a long finish. Ideal for pairing with seafood and simply prepared fish, or cold dishes with simple herb-based sauces.
1993/1998
60% Malbec – 40% Cabernet Sauvignon
Azul Reserva
A wine that surprises us with its complexity and intensity. It has a very intense, clear cherry-red color. On the nose, it is intense, with notes of forest fruits and pepper, blended with aromas of vanilla and chocolate. On the palate, the tannins are pleasant, with good body, complexity, refreshing acidity, and a long finish. It is an ideal wine to pair with well-seasoned dishes and red meats.
1995
Cabernet Franc
El Buscapleito
To the eye, we appreciate an intense red color. On the nose, we find red fruits, a subtle touch of green pepper, and intense notes of vanilla, tobacco, and chocolate contributed by the oak. On the palate, it is a wine with well-present tannins, marked acidity, and a long finish. Ideal for pairing with pasta and seasoned red meats.
1970/1993/1995
Blend (Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Bonarda, Syrah)
Jauría Gran Reserva
When tasting this wine, we can discover a wide range of sensations, with aromas of strawberries, plums, fresh herbs, meaty notes, smoke, vanilla, and chocolate, complemented by very good structure, acidity, and persistent tannins developed during its aging in French and American oak barrels.
Our Story
A Short Story of Our Winery
La Azul is a small winery located at the foot of the imposing Cordón del Plata, part of the Andes Mountains, in the Uco Valley, the heart of the province of Mendoza.
For generations, ever since Francisco Hinojosa arrived on this land more than 60 years ago, we have cultivated grapes to produce high-quality wines. But it was not until this century that the dream shared by all those generations became a reality. In 2003, Bodega La Azul was born.
This is our story. Our passion is growing grapes, making wine and, of course, drinking it, enjoying it and giving it the place it deserves: celebration.

I set down my glass of wine and let it rest among the flowers. Even though there is no one here, I already feel accompanied.

If I had to choose between diamonds and pearls, I would choose a cluster of white and black grapes.
