La Celia was born out of a passion for excellence when our founder, Eugenio Bustos, traded his best horse for French Malbec vines. It was thus, in 1890, at the foot of the Andes Mountains, that La Celia was established as the first winery in the Uco Valley, now recognized as one of Argentina's finest regions for crafting premium wines.
La Celia is situated in the heart of the Valle de Uco, 100 km south of the city of Mendoza. Our estate lies between 3,200 to 3,600 feet above sea level and comprises three unique terroirs, highly esteemed worldwide. Their distinct characteristics, coupled with our commitment to achieving the highest quality, result in wines with floral and fresh aromas, a long finish on the palate, juicy acidity, and very elegant tannins of small granularity.
