Alfa Crux

Alfa Crux stands as a testament to Argentina’s capacity to produce wines of world-class distinction. Named after the brightest star in the Southern Cross constellation, this prestigious winery is dedicated to crafting exceptional expressions of Mendoza’s high-altitude terroir—where each bottle reflects both the intensity of the landscape and the precision of its creators.

At the heart of Alfa Crux’s winemaking philosophy lies a deep respect for ‘micro-terroir’—the idea that even within a single vineyard, subtle shifts in soil, slope, and sunlight can yield uniquely expressive grapes. This meticulous approach to viticulture enables the winery to produce wines of remarkable complexity and nuance, with single-lot selections that reveal the soul of the Uco Valley.The state-of-the-art facilities marry cutting-edge technology with natural gravity-flow architecture to gently guide the winemaking process, reducing mechanical intervention and preserving fruit integrity. Temperature-controlled fermentation tanks ensure optimal precision, while the dramatic underground aging cellar—dubbed the *Catedral del Vino*—houses rows of French oak barrels in an acoustically resonant space carved deep beneath the Andes.

Visitors to Alfa Crux are immersed in an atmosphere of refined elegance and sensorial discovery. The striking modernist structure, designed by the renowned firm Bórmida & Yanzón, features sweeping lines, panoramic glass walls, and rooftop gardens fragrant with wild rosemary. Inside, guests enjoy private tastings of the estate’s most exclusive labels—including the flagship Alfa Crux, the expressive B Crux, and terroir-driven varietals—many of which are available only at the winery or through select premium distributors. A highlight of the experience is *Crux Cocina*, the winery’s award-winning restaurant led by chef Edward Holloway. Here, seasonal tasting menus pair modern Argentine cuisine with curated wine flights in a setting that blends contemporary design with rustic charm. A newly unveiled art gallery and live acoustic performances further enrich the experience, transforming each visit into a journey through flavor, art, and atmosphere.

Alfa Crux is not just a winery—it is a destination where architecture, viticulture, and gastronomy converge to tell the story of Mendoza’s most inspired craftsmanship.
