The Lagarde Estate is renowned, reliable and one of the oldest (1897) producers in the area. Their GUARDA Colección de Viñedos (Vineyard Collection) is a high end wine line with a small production, as a result of long periods of investigation and examination of the best terroirs within their estates.

Each wine is an accurate reflection of a special vineyard located in a micro region of Cuyo, a region selected due to its high quality features.

Premium restaurant wine is super-rare in this country, we only found half a dozen bottles and took the lot!
