The embrace of two paths
Back to all news
We want to celebrate a new phase of our ABRAS brand, a project that seeks to capture the identity of Cafayate, a high altitude terroir and wine-growing tradition. On this occasion, we share the news of the consolidation of the partnership between Karim Mussi (Mendoza) and Domingo Winery (Cafayate, Salta) for the production of our Abras wines, thus reinforcing their already strong bond of shared work for several years. | February, 2023

THE EMBRACE OF TWO PATHS

"I still have memories of those first moments of talks and tastings with Karim. We met through mutual friends while I was studying in Mendoza. We quickly realised that we shared values, a philosophy and a way of conceiving wine. The need to respect the terroir above all else, as a mark of style and also as a sense of belonging and respect for the identity of the place. That laid an initial foundation that gave rise over time to a bond of work and friendship that would be reflected in the three wines we make together today". points put Rafa Domingo

The first step was to identify the main area of origin of the grapes for the wines to come: the Cafayate Valley. Today, most of the grapes are state fruit and come from the DM family's old vineyards located in the micro-terroir of the Tolombón area of Cafayate. Then came the winemaking, a process that will flow with ease because of the similar wine precepts of the two winemakers.

EVENTS CELEBRATING THIS JOINT PROJECT 

Last week we decided to celebrate the collaboration and joint work that KM and RD have been doing for years behind the making of our ABRAS wines.
It consisted of three tastings in which we sought for an exchange between the attendees and the wine producers. It was very enriching to get, first hand, the insights of the Abras project and know more about this fusion of views between the winemakers.
