About Bodega Atamisque
Founded in 2002 by John and Chantal Du Monceau, located in Tupungato, at the foothills of the Andes Mountains. Atamisque’s name comes from an aboriginal bush that grows naturally in the region. The wines are produced from the winery’s own 70 hectares of vineyards, which provides the highest standard of quality from the vine to the bottle. Respect for the environment and long-term sustainability were the foundation in the construction of Atamisque. The winery was designed for gravity-flow winemaking to avoid the use of pumps and minimize wine stress and utilizing the local slate in the area as tiling for the roof of the buildings providing perfect insulation and temperature control year-round.
