Fabril Alto Verde

Mendoza & the Central Andes


The Fabril Alto Verde is a big, state-of-the-art winery that sells 90% of its wine for export; tours are in English or Spanish and come accompanied by a rather dreary promotional video. The award-winning organic brands Buenas Hondas and Touchstone are produced here.
